2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Looks and feels great; but only average when it comes to performance; Need the bigger engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only issue I have encountered is that on very cold days, the Jetta is difficult to start (I turn the key and I get nothing). I have found a way around this, I simply heat the key up and then insert it and the car starts. I called Volkswagen to have work done on it; but they said they could only repair it if the car did it when they had it. How am I suppose to predict when its going to be 10 below zero? Why would I make a story like that up. Just fix it!
But all in all, no problems.
General comments?
The interior lights are Money!
The heated seats are great on a cold day.
