2000 Volkswagen Jetta Reviews

love my car, don't love the base 2.0 it comes with (i shoulda spent the other $800 on the 1.8t).  other than that, has a lot more miles than average (333k), and has held up really well with nary a major problem.  i still get 33mpg with it, and the handling is still crisp, even with snow tires and worn springs/shocks/struts.

clutch is the only major component that needed to be replaced (and that 300k on it!).  very easy to work on, a shadetree mechanic or budding tech can keep this car on the road very easily.

cost of ownership has been great to me, i've owned her since new, and while i may have spent thousands on her, keep in mind, $1k+ is just in oil changes (34 oil changes with mobil1).  i'd say over 333,000 miles i may have spent $4k total in maintenance, and another $600 for clutch parts and labor.

i still get a smile on my face every day when i drive her, so i guess the fun factor is still there. :)

I love my Jetta, a fun car, fun to drive, excellent road feel, great acceleration, handling & braking (ABS). occational electrical problems, repaired by my VW mechanic (now runs great). I love the look, good on gas, burns some oil (typical of 2.0L engine). great amenities and comfort with style!

I love my 2000 Jetta it is like driving a mini sprots car OMG it's so hard to explain why i love my jetta i just love it this car is absolutely an extremely fun and exciting car to drive... i recommend everyone at least test drive the jetta.. i did and now i own one and i will never get another kind of car besides the volkswagon jetta

My PLATINUM MAMA. We've been through alot together. The best is still yet to come! It all started in 2001 when I discovered here in my uncle's junk yard. The previous owner flipped her a couple times across 64. The passenger's side was completely smashed in and the sunroof was almost non exsistent. After about a year of bodywork and getting all the major bugs out of the engine Platinum was reborn. In 2004 she was the focus of my senior project. Mods that were added were 18" rims undercar light system, cool air intake and tinted taillights. Not much but it got me an A for my senior project and to this day it s the standard of how much work should be put forth on a Senior project. After freshman year at ECU all my mods came off and she was completely stock again. Small additions have been added since then but we have only just begun.......again

Its very fun to drive, gas miliage is very good for a v6, 400km
to the tank. Need regular maintenance otherwise can get very
expensive. Has a few quirks but what car dosent. Has an
absolutely beatuful sound to it.
