2005 Volkswagen Jetta New Body review from North America
"I wouldn't buy another one for a dollar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My door speaker blew out 1st week I had it.
I took the car to the dealer 4 times before they replaced the speaker.
After replacing the speaker they left a screw or bolt in the door that rattles all the time.
Has too much road noise, can hear a lot of wind through the doors and windows when closed.
General comments?
The car handles vey well and is very good on fuel economy, but has too many small problems that all add up.
