The only thing I can say that is wrong with the car is that the wipers occasionally come on even though they are in the off position.
The oil dipstick tube has a plastic guide at the top of it that is broken. I have noticed on a few Jettas and Golfs that this is common.
The front cup holders are to far in under the ash tray to allow taller cups or drinks.
This car made me smile the moment I left the dealership parking lot for a test drive. It is fun to drive, sporty, attractive, and has a feel of quality throughout.
This car pulls strong in each of the 5 gears, and I have had excellent fuel economy.
Unlike my last few domestic cars that seem like they were engineered by a grade 4 class, this car is well thought out. I believe they actually thought about what they were building and then built it instead of vice versa like some of my former cars.
I have owned 30 previous cars, but I find myself enjoying this one immensely. I am a mechanic, and look forward to working on it as well as driving it. It is a total pleasure.
Actually I don't have a comment, but more of a questions. I have a 1998 Jetta GT and I just had the battery terminals changed and now my radio doesn't turn on.. It has a "safe" message on the screen. How can I get rid off the message?
Please help...
The car came with a audio manual, and in it is a code and instructions on how to enter this code to unlock the radio. If the car is disconnected from the battery for more than 10 min the radio will enter "safe" mode. This is a defense against theft. If you don't have the book with the code for your jettas radio you have to take it to the "stealership" and they will use the serial # on the back of the radio to identify your code. Be sure to have them show you how to enter this code, it is not difficult. Good Luck!
This will happen every time your have to change a battery or disconnect the terminals to work on a starter motor or something. Write the code down and have the dealer show you how to re-enter it.
