Terrible Car — I love the look, but the quality sucks. If you are looking for something reliable this is not the car. I've had nothing but problems with my car and have brought it into the shop a million times. Way too many problems with the engine, with it over heating, electrical problems, way too many repairs and problems with the coolant, etc .. The peformance is great, it has great pick up and a nice smooth ride and that is about it.

Dont Buy Volkswagenn — Worst car I eve own. It cost me over 4000$ reparation in 4 years. Every parts broke up. They start to brake only 12 days of owning. The only positive thing of this car is that you can full the car every 2 weeks and it was a very confortable car and fun to drive. After this car I got a Toyota Echo. It was not confortable, but was never at the garage for reparation. I wll never buy back a Volkswagen for sure. I really enjoy the looking of those car, but it's not suitable.

My Beautiful Speed Racer! — I love many things about my Jetta. I am a bit weird though, so my likes are probably way different than anyone elses. For one i love the way all Jetta's smell like crayon's-kinda weird but it reminds me of childhood. I also love the interior accent lights. Everything turns red when darkness falls. Another great thing about my Jetta is how safe I feel when driving. My son's carseat fits perfectly in the middle so I can keep an eye on him, and my seat is pretty snug as well. It handles curves like a champ and when I put the peddle to the metal, I'm gone like the wind!

Jetta Gls — Sweet sound system. plenty of options for cheap car ie: heated seats, sun roof, 6 disc CS player, leather...etc. i dont like how the back seat gets very little leg room but it is supposed to be a compact car. Overall tight handling fun car to drive around. done.

20v Turbo — This is my first VW, gotta love the 1.8 20V Turbo, pretty fast little car and also sporty, I've hit 134MPH in it. You can still feel the turbo at those high speeds too. Gets about 30MPG, my only complaint is that the check engine light comes on quite often.

Funnest Car I Have Owned! — My car has been highly customizable so far and I had taken advantage of that. With the turbo upgrade coming soon it will compliment the addons already present. Without throwing it up on a dyno I would guess that I am producing 265hp at the crank and maybe more than that in torque. The car handles well and feels very solid.

Awesome Car. — I upgraded from a regular to a diesel for my 2nd car. This car runs well. As my friend put it, "Oooh, diesel power". She has a few nicks and is missing a mirror, but my dad and I are working on her.
