2000 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"You'll look so sporty and cool with an empty wallet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Misc. Service resulted in anywhere between $200.00 and $900.00 each time I took it in.
Coolant tank leak.
Emissions and O2 problem: Major $1,000 charge.
Oil light came on at 127,000 miles although the car had oil... two days later, billows of smoke were coming out of the bottom of it.
General comments?
Although I liked this car and loved it's quick pick-up and was fairly good with gas. A warning light and bell sounded once every 3-4 months without exception. The check engine light came on more times than I can count. I sunk a ton of money into it and hoped it would last, but alas. This car is dead at 127,000. I was certain a VW would run to 200,000.
