Its not the best car but its a good car for me now.  When I first got it everytime I took it in something was wrong with it like the sunroof, brakes, radio, lights.  I think it was because the owner that I bought it from didn't take care of the car.  

Pros — Its very easy to drive if u can drive manually.
Cons — The cost of repairs are expensive.

I love the 50 plus milage but there has been a lot of things break in three years.  We have 170 000 kms on it and I am determined to double that amount.  I love the drive of this car and for two of us it is perfect.  For all four it is way too small.

Pros — Mileage
Cons — Poor build quality

Its a Jetta 1.8T, so its TURB'Od!!!! The thing is a dream to drive, the power from such a small package is amazing. Gas is rediculous anyway, and since its aus Deutschland it'll be expensive to fix if something goes horribly wrong.  Other than that, i really don't anticipate doing anything but loving this car!

Pros — Turbocharged performance, excellent tight handling, smooth and quiet ride, all wrapped in a beautiful black and cream interior and catchy and shapely red exterior!
Cons — took about 4 hours to adjust to the different throttle needs cuz of the turbo.

Pros — very good looking. great mpg. handles amazingly. pretty good excelleration. exhaust sounds amazing.
Cons — horsepower slightly lacking. shifter a little akwardly placed for people who are short and have less arm span.

This diesel fueled car gets great mileage for driving to work and on road trips.  With regular maintenance, we have had no problems for the past 70k miles that we have owned it.

Pros — 42 MPG, nice body style
Cons — Plastic interior parts tend to break

Ok, so there wasn't anything wrong with the car (ie, usual German electrical issues), however, this car just wasn't that impressive.  For a car that's 15k, you think that the engineers would be able to fit more than 110hp into a 4-cylinder 2-liter engine - nope!  I know better now.

Pros — No usual German vehicle issues; decent torque for a weak car
Cons — Weak engine; automatic gearbox
