Nothing so far except I lost 2 of the lug-nut covers on the alloy wheels, but the dealer replaced them for free right away when I needed them, I don't think that it is a problem with the car, probably kids stealing them from me...
This is a GREAT little-big car. I can't get over the size of the trunk as well as the handling and the response I get from people when they see it. I added the chrome exhaust-tips for a little more finished look, since the exhaust before looked pretty wimpy. Sunroof is great, heated seats cool. The velour seats are nice, but attract a lot of lint and hair!!
I live in a small town in North Ga. I am looking for a car with great millage. I'm afraid to buy a Jetta Deisel used because the mechanics here say they are hard to work on and the nearest dealer is 60 miles away. 55 miles per gallon is inticing, but a 38 miles per gallon Corolla with cheap replaceable parts is my best bet. If I could buy new with warranty I would go for the vw. thanks Mickey.
To the writer of the 1st comment.
So what if the reviewer's parents bought her the Jetta?
Are you jealous?
Give the kid a break. She wrote a pretty decent review, don't you think?
True, it was a decent review. But a great first car that I could AFFORD during college would have been, like, a Chevy Nova.
Most college kids are dead broke with only enough money to buy 1) beer 2) Ramen noodles and 3) weed.
Mudflapper.
You must realize that not all college students are broke. I am a 20-year-old, full-time student, I have two part-time jobs, I am involved in many extra-curricular activities and I just purchased a brand new 2005 Jetta GLS (low interest rate, no co-signer, own insurance policy). Just because some of us are young and in college doesn't mean that we are irresponsible, naive, broke individuals.
Thank you for your time.
I agree I am only 18 and I am a full time student and I just bought myself a nissan maxima brand new with all the options and I have no trouble keeping up with the payments just take out a loan and you don't have to worrie about paying for college untill you graduate if I can afford a 35000 dollar car so can anyone else in college paying their way.
I agree that not all college students are broke. I am going to college in California and have a Jetta GLS that is awesome. Everything is holding up fine... Besides the minor problems... College students deserve nice things as well. Give us a break!
