i love the car to death, but it keeps freaking breaking down. i wouldn't reccomend this car to ANYONE that isn't a mechanic...you WILL be working on it a lot. My favorite feature is that this car will outrun a 2004 and older mustang GT and get 25 mpg doing it...but it is not a gas saver under any circumstances. it's a cheap thrill. but i've been through a lot with mine...im kinda attatched to it

Pros — great power, somewhat ok gas mileage, comfortable ride
Cons — unreliable

TDI stick shift is the way to go!   43 mpg in the city man!  Highway miles are around 48.
Performance with the turbo is still kind of weak.  But that's why they build WRX's!  The durability and handling are excellent for a car priced under 17K..My only regret is not buying a second one and storing it!

Pros — MPG
Cons — Horsepower and performance

The car handles well, I like the feel of it, but man does it fall apart a lot. I have put well over 50% of its value back in to it for repairs. Being a foreign car I should have seen high prices, but man 250 bucks to do a tune up on a stock car?

Pros — Handles well
Cons — Costs a lot to repair

After being a Ford fan for years (and still am at heart), I was persuaded into a VW and it's been the best decision car wise I have made. After 227,000km it still runs as if it were new. It is fast enough, the buld quality is excellent for a small car and very good on gas. I've put just over $1000 in maintenance in 4 years of ownership. I definitely recommend the MK4 Jetta to anyone!

Pros — Build quality, low maintenance, fuel economy, quietness, dateless styling.
Cons — Interior room, lack of power seats, some electronic issues.

Reviewing: 2000 Used Volkswagen Jetta GLS VR6

Throttle body becomes a problem around 100k.  VR6
engine is a nice combo of power and gas economy.  
Lots of upside for upgrades such as turbo kits, SC's
and anything else you can think of. I just wish that I
had found out about the throtle body issue before I
had bought it because it started to act up about 500
miles after I bought the car. Other than that, I can't
wait to see what this car is going to be able to do in
another 2 years. Lets just say turbo at least.

Pros — Great Power to build off of.
Cons — TOO MANY FREAKIN SENSOR ERRORS!

Overall I love this car, however I do wish I would have sprung for the 1.8T or the VR6. With a miserly 115 hp this is not a performance car. I do like the pick-up it has in the 65-80 mph range. It's the 0-60 pick-up I wish I had more of.
The interior is roomy enough and decently laid out. I don't like the Soft-Touch interior, it is rubbing off.
The 2.0L engine "used" oil (1 qt per 100 miles) which was enough to ruin my engine over the first couple years I owned it. I had new rings put in to solve the problem, no more used oil...oh, and switched to synthetic at about 100K miles.
Gas mileage is adequate, about 28-30 mpg highway. Which is nice because the cost of repairs seems to be slightly higher than other cars.

Pros — Looks, Interior (except rear seats), MPG, trunk space.
Cons — Engine, although newer models are better

I had some issues with it and eventually had to get rid of it, but it was a great car and i miss it very much. If you get a VW, you have to be ready to deal with people not knowing how to work on it or not willing to.

Pros — Fun to drive. Lots of little things (amenities)
Cons — Someehat expensive parts

Vr6 is a great engine.  lots power whenever you want it.  be prepared to replace water pump and timing chain after 100k miles though... and body style is pretty sexy too.  lots of fun to drive.  

Pros — awesomeness
Cons — things can need replacing

Purchased in August 2005 with 245,900km on it.  Currently, July 2008, it has 411,500km on it.  Reason I bought the car was for the fuel mileage. 1200km on 55Litres is too good to pass up.  Because of the torque, it pulls like a freight train on the highway, and will surprise many cars. Couple things, I wish it was RWD, and I'd like it to handle like a MINI.  Can't have everything though!

Pros — Fuel Mileage, reliability
Cons — Handling, FWD

It really performed way better than i ever thought that it could. it did ride and drive really well until i lost a bump stop.that sucked. now it takes bumps really poorly.it is still really fun to drive though.

Pros — fast and tight. takes corners really well . very fast on the highway
Cons — its a 2000
