2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg review from North America

No Major problems so far.

There are the simple problems of a used car (some specific to the Jetta) :

Peeling interior paint

Smells like crayons on the inside

Latch that holds the center armrest lid closed is broken/missing.

Minor wear on the seats.

So far, I love the car. I've only had the car for one day, and I'm learning to drive a manual, but I've got high expectations because the car has had no previous major problems. I did plenty of research on this site, most people stated that their cars were lemons, and a few reported that they never had major problems with their cars. I'm hoping that I will be one of those lucky people.

So far the car has preformed wonderfully! The acceleration is wonderful, and I love the turbo's whistling noise. It takes curves really well, and has strong breaking power. The seats are very adjustable, and the sunroof adds a lot to the car.

I'm praying that nothing will break on it for a few thousand miles at least! I'm going to make sure I take it in at 60k miles to replace the timing belt, so it won't break on me! I plan on treating this car as best I can. It's my dream car! I got it for 10,600$ :)
