Pros: Tight handling, svelte yet subtle exterior, comfortable and cozy interior, great factory sound system.
Cons: High insurance rates, somewhat slow in 2.0L form, reliability is subpar, expensive to repair.
The Bottom Line: Volkswagen's best-selling car in the USA is a minor disappointment, both in reliability and in ownership costs. Only recommended for do-it-yourself mechanically savvy owners.
----- General Jetta Model Information ----- As the era of the 3rd Generation Jetta ('94-'99) came to an end, the new 4th Gen. model began to infiltrate dealerships as a 1999.5 model. As is the case with most 1/2 year new model introductions, ...

Pros: Looks Great, Drives Amazingly
Cons: No power seats
Wow, I really don't know where to start. In the past I have given reviews mostly on cars that I did not actually own. They were either cars of my friends or cars I just happened to know a lot about. I own a 2000 Jetta and am proud to say I have had...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fun, fun, fun. Head-turning looks. Cool features and high popularity.
Cons: Cool features + high popularity = higher prices. Short bumper-to-bumper warranty..
The Bottom Line: Sadly, this particular Jetta left a bitter taste in my cousin's mouth. It's a great car at first, but could use a better warranty for peace of mind.
In front of the little VW store around the corner you will see a sign that says "Drivers Wanted." After driving the 2000 Jetta GLX for a week, I'll gladly wait in line to fill the void.
Of course, it's not like there has...

We bought the 1999 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition because we had previously owned a Jetta. We absolutely loved it and the performance was wonderful.
There are several things that caught our eye about the Jetta’s.

Pros: Great-looking, well-equipped, fun-to-drive.
Cons: 2.0L engine, automatic transmission, the cup holders.
When I moved to California from Canada in December of 1998, I was in need of a new car. After looking at several car models, the Volkswagen new Jetta was the one that stuck in my mind. (Well others did too, but I couldn't afford a BMW yet.)

Pros: Comfortable, Lots of Space, and Sporty looking
Cons: N/A
The Bottom Line: This car has been nothing but good to me. As long as you get the oil changed on a regular basis, you will have a long-lasting, durable car.
I have just recently purchased a 2000 Silver Jetta GLS with black leather interior and absolutely love it! I just bought it last Friday and find myself just getting in the car and driving around for no reason but to be in my car. When I first...

Pros: Styling, fit and finish, huge trunk!
Cons: Engine is a bit noisy, dealer/service experience needs a tune-up
Keep getting better all the time
When I decided to trade in my 1997 GLX a few months ago, I seriously considered a SUV. I have a dog, Madison, and a lot of stuff to tote around-as we all do-like a couple of mountain bikes, a boat, etc. A...

Pros: Standard features, good pricing, very reliable
Cons: Small leg room in the rear
After months of research, the "new Jetta" stood out as the best package for my dad's budget. It has everything I wanted: ABS brakes, A/C, automatic transmission for the California traffic, and power everything! The side mirrors even have a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, Interior Quality, Great Features, Fun to Drive, Quick, Big Trunk, Great Stereo
Cons: Small Back Seat, Poor Warranty, Expensive to Fix Collision Damage
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this car to someone. The standard features are great, it is a blast to drive, engine power is very impressive for the size of the engine.
I bought this car after my 1991 Honda Accord was rear ended. The dealer I bought it from brought in from a dealer in another part of the state so when I received it, it had 104 miles on it. I couldn't drive a stick at the time, so my mom had to drive...

What new car earned J.D. Power and Associates' "Most Appealing Entry Midsize Car" for 1999? I'm glad you asked; presenting the 1999-2000 Volkswagen Jetta. It's just been redesigned for 1999, making it sleeker, more noticeable, safer, and...

Pros: Lots of features for the money
Cons: A few things take getting use to
I was driving a 1991 Crown Victoria police package seventy miles a day when I figured out that gasoline was going to kill me, and trying to keep the thing on the road cost more then it was worth. Time to get a new car.
I figured that I'd base...

I leased my 1999 VW Jetta because I was tired of driving a station wagon! I was longing to drive a small, cute and peppy car. I had never owned a German car before, and I was really interested in getting a QUALITY vehicle.
I chose a white...

Pros: Durable, handles great, spacious.....
Cons: Can't think of one.
Just recently I suffered the fortunate misfortune of having my 86 1/2 Nissan Pick-up break down. Why fortunate you ask? You've never seen the thing. Ok so usually it is a "blue miracle," and can make it through anything, but it is beat up...
