2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition review from North America
"Best car I've ever owned, and will stick with the Volkswagen Family for life.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I can find wrong with my car, is my 12V jack inside the car doesn't allow me to charge my cell phone. I'm sure it's a fuse.
General comments?
This car is seriously fast, when taken car of properly. We take very good care of our Turbo engine, feeding it synthetic oil (Over 100,000 miles recently) and letting the turbo 'unspool' every time it is driven. Bought it with 92,000 miles, and have had no problems with the performance of anything. This car will take some massively fast cars, like they are nothing, and I can't wait for the performance boost from the chip we will be putting in, and the after-market exhaust will also add some HP.
Everything I ever thought a car should have, has come in one powerful little package called a 1.8 T. Mini visor for rear view mirror, heated seats, mirrors and window sprayers...auto-shut off lights, and buzzers. Haven't thought of anything we would want different, besides a little more leg room in the back for the kiddo. Oh, and the way the gas cap isn't attached (I tend to drive off with them on the top).
The interior, in excellent condition, never fails to amaze. Trim pieces fitting tightly, and no nooks and crannies to lose things in. Great colors, easy to clean, and missing nothing. The stock Monsoon speakers are amazing, especially with an after market Alpine.
Can't see how anyone could have a problem with such a perfect car. Or, maybe they should just take better care of their babies... because I'm pretty sure mine loves me back.
