1999 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America

These are things that have gone wrong with my Jetta since purchasing it:

1) Left front driver side automatic window stopped working.

2) Right after left window was fixed, the right passenger window stopped working.

3) Any passenger who sits in the front right seat has to wait until I roll their window down (remember #2), put their arm out of the window, and open the door from the outside because the door will not open from the inside.

3) Interior dash lights work when they feel like it, which is very annoying at night.

4) When the door is locked and you try to unlock it with the key it may or may not let you in. I guess it depends on it's mood. The alarm may go off too. I've found it easier just to not lock it (and hope that someone is stupid enough to steal it).

5) Vanity mirror won't close completely, which causes the light to stay on and drain the battery.

6) For some reason, VW thought it was a good idea for the car to have power steering, power windows, power locks, but no power seats. You have to manually turn the knobs on the side of the seat, that is when the knobs have not fallen off and rolled under the seat.

7) Sunroof is off track and will not open properly.

8) Sunroof sometimes opens on its own.

9) The most annoying and damaging thing is that when it rains, water leaks in through the passenger side door causing standing water (up to 5 inches depending on the weather).

Do not be fooled by the Jetta's cuteness and style appeal. You will be sadly disappointed!

I thought I was making a step up when I got rid of my Geo Prizm, boy was I wrong!
