A mechanic damaged the air conditioning compressor when attempting to change the freon. The compressor was replaced for $450 dollars (not my money) and now works perfectly.
This is my first car and it's wonderful. Despite the one mechanical problem listed above, it's otherwise been a joy to own and drive. The only problems I've had are all minor and cosmetic issues. It has no glove compartment, virtually useless cup holders, cheap body side moldings, and strange visors. If you can get past these problems, it's a solid performer, reliable, and a perfect student car. It does especially well in that it's been designed with excellent factory standard sound, a trunk as big as a u-haul truck, an easy to use and sporty moon roof, well placed controls, and unmatched heat and airconditioning. I don't know how they did it, but despite only having a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder this car has power like you wouldn't believe. Even as a fairly new driver, I never find myself anxious about merging with traffic on a highway. I can't explain the feeling of complete comfort and control I have when I'm driving this car. I highly recommend this car to individuals and couples, though if you've got a larger family, you might want to splurge on a passat.
Yeah this car is more like a nightmare come true!!! I have the same car, it has been nothing, but a piece of junk. I can see that I am not the only one that feels this way according to this car review site. I can't wait to get rid of mine.
So sad... I felt the same way about my Jetta the day I bought it. The happiness lasted about 24 hours when the next morning I got up to take it for a drive and it wouldn't start!!
Do yourself a huge favor and SELL IT as fast as you can to someone who has not seen this site!!
