2003 Volkswagen Jetta gls review from North America
"It's not the least expensive small car, but consider that it's built like an A4, and it costs half"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems.
General comments?
This is actually our second Jetta. Previously owned a 2000 model with the 2.0 gas engine, and although it was 100% problem free, I always found it underpowered for the type of driving that I do. So I went out and purchased an '03 1.8T with the sport luxury package, winter package etc etc. Now I like the car even more and it has all the things that I wished the first one had: more power, leather seats and nice 17" wheels.
Just don't get VW to service them! VW service is SO overpriced not mention arrogant. I've found an independant VW specialist that performs any required maintenance (which isn't often anyway) for much much less.
