Used 2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1.8T for Sale near Hualapai, AZ

I really enjoy driving this Jetta because of the responsive handling and speedy performance. However, being that I own mountain property and have the need to drive on forest roads, the Jetta is not the vehicle of choice for such.

I like the look of the car and it was comfortable in the front but the back doesnt have a lot of leg room for an adult. It doesnt fit more than 5 people and the 5th one is pushing it. The build quality is great, it handles very well and is really awesome on gas. I felt very safe driving it

I purchased this car 12 years old with only 86,500 miles on it from a local dealership for $3,000. The AC was out ($53 control panel fixed it) and the ignition switch needed replacing ($50). My check engine light came on the first day I had it, from an o2 and knock sensor code, and that's when I discovered you cant use regular gas in these. They require premium to run properly. My fault for not checking. Since then, it's been downhill. I'm on my third alternator, both downstream and upstream O2's replaced, knock sensor, a dash sensor, the inside is very cheaply made. No cup holders? Dont get me wrong, I love the car. It gets great gas mileage for being twelve years old - I average 25mpg. It's also extremely cute. The electricity works perfect, interior wise it's in good shape with no cracks in the dash or leather. The original radio is still working well with nice sounding speakers. I've simply put a lot into maintenance already. Aesthetic issues include the fabric on the roof coming off at the edges, the center console is broken, and there is some minor paint chipping on the hood. The passenger and rear doors are odd, and require that you push them in before opening them. They do work, though. The trunk is very spacious and that's extremely nice, since the inside of the car is built small. Overall, I would recommend this car to someone looking for a fun, cute daily drive that will take care of them as long as they take care of it.

I liked pretty much everything about the car. I changed out the old radio to update it a bit to be able to hook up iPods too it. Also bought 4 new speakers, an amp, and a big boom box for the trunk. Got it painted black also. And tinted windows.

Looking back I almost wish I would have bought a Honda. This is a very nice, clean car inside and out. But one problem turns into another and it gets very pricey to fix. Not to mention the fact that there aren't many mechanics that are certified to work on them or that know anything about them unless you go to a VW dealership, which is even more expensive! Jettas have always been my dream car, now my dreams are crushed! If I could just get everything wrong with it repaired, I'll drive it until the wheels fall off and love every second of it. But if not, I may drive it off a cliff!!!
