This car is a very reliable car. I have taken this car on long and short trips. I have been as far as Houston TX from Baltimore MD round trip. I was never worried about the reliability or performance of this car. The car handled like it was made for long distance driving. In town, getting around is as easy as can be. The car is small. Has great gas mileage, and has a very powerful take off. I have put over 70,000 miles on this car in the last two years I have had it, and have NO major complaints.
The car has had some problems as I mentioned. But as with any car, you will have to keep up with the maintenance and other problems that may come up. As a machanic, I can say that there is no other car that I have seen that has the longevity as a VW does. MY first vw had over 400,000 miles on it.
Hello there Mr. North America, I also have a Jetta Trek, they are good cars.
I got this car on a trade for a 1990 blue BMW 325i rebuilt title 6 cylinder. Dude didn't know, he thought he was getting a M3. Man it ran like poop, but the point I'm trying to get to was that my water pump went out and so did my thermostat, so now it overheats. When I turn the car on the light already come on without the needle being over. So my question is how would I take the water pump out, I already took it apart from the top, is that good or not?
