Pros: fast and furious VR6, very nice road manners
Cons: It's alright to be itty-bitty
The Bottom Line: Hunker down in them corners, boys, and you may be able to lose the cops..
Wow, what can I say? My wife came home one day after driving our old Trooper and dropped the bomb.... she wasn't going to drive that old Trooper anymore. No problem, right? She could drive my pick-up, and I'll drive the old Trooper. That lasted about...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fuel economy, surprisingly good performance, comfort, style, sound system
Cons: VW dealers are mostly crooks, electrically glitchy
The Bottom Line: Cars are personal. For me, this is the perfect balance of affordability, fun, economy, and reliability.
I purchased my 2000 Jetta TDI used from an individual seller in October 2001. It had 46,000 miles on it already. It is now 2007, the car has 165,000 miles, and I am still in love with it. The good stuff first: It feels to me like a sports car. Now, ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Silky-smooth engine; features features features; quality build; very fast; beautiful, classic lines
Cons: Rear seat for munchkins only; front seats perhaps too firm
The Bottom Line: sporty, stylish, and sophisticated, the VR6 is an excellent choice for those who want German engineering at a (relatively) low price.
I recently traded in my 1998 Plymouth Neon for a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6. I was in the lot of a local Chrysler chain, perhaps thinking of a slightly used Intrepid or some such, when my eyes glanced across the shiny green sheetmetal of the VW.

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Top speed, handling, style, extra features.
Cons: Price, parts, quality, absolutely poor warranty.
The Bottom Line: Good, solid performing car, fine details kill the big picture.
The Jetta is fun to look at. Not too agressive, but not too geriatric at the same time. Not a speedster's flame thrower, but not a car 80 years olds drive either. It's got enough features from both stereotypes though to create a happy medium for those ...

Pros: Price, features, ride quality
Cons: Some small fit and finish issues with the interior.
The Bottom Line: If you like it, buy it!
Let me start by saying I really like VW cars. I have owned 5 at the time of this writing. I wrote at least one other epinion about a VW car, namely a Corrado. Well I still own the corrado, and it's still great! But I'm here to talk about the Jetta, ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: VR6 performance, handling, braking, interior quality, feature content on the GLX
Cons: Crappy oil changes, low ride height (cracked oil pans)
The Bottom Line: Go drive one! If it's for you, you'll know with one twist of the key.
As the owner of a 2000 VR6 GLX (purchased used, with 30K on the clock), I've gotta say this is the best vehicle I've ever owned! If you haven't driven one, you owe yourself the pleasure of taking one around the block. Even after driving an MK5, the ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: economy, handling, workmanship, reliability
Cons: cramped seating in rear
The Bottom Line: If low fuel cost and reliability in a small car fits your needs, this is it.
I bought my 2000 Jetta TDI Diesel in October 1999 because I have long been a Diesel lover. As an example, my "other" diesel is a 1981 VW Diesel Rabbit. I'm middle aged, and after 30K miles it's turned out to be one of the great cars of my life.

Pros: Stylish, reliable, HIGH gas-mileage, extended oil change interval, comfortable
Cons: Some maintenance is expensive, the car is expensive, small back seat
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a low-maintenace car, with GREAT mileage, unbelievable comfort and STILL a stylish interior and exterior, the JETTA TDI is for YOU!
I purchased my Year 2000 Volkswagen Jetta TDI a little over a month ago now.
For those who don't know, TDI stands for Turbo Direct Injection - in short, it's the DIESEL Volkswagen model.
This was the first car that I bought on my...

Pros: A fun, quality car!
Cons: Backseat on the small side
Yes, the seats of my car are a fuzz magnet. That is my biggest and only complaint about my 2000 Jetta. I take my dog with me quite often, and throw a blanket in the back. The fuzzies from this blanket, and any thing that I am wearing that has fuzzies,...

Pros: Sleek styling, good engine, large trunk space
Cons: A little cramped in the back if you're big
When I first entered the car market a little more than two months ago, I had my heart set out on a nice convertible. I was moving to California straight out of college and I just pictured myself cruising along the freeways, with wind blowing through my...

Pros: Excellent Fuel Economy, Fun Little Car!
Cons: Low front-end, persistent "thump" in left front.
The Bottom Line: The Jetta TDI is a great car .. take one for a drive!
My Jetta TDI is pretty, is frugal, and is fun to drive.
Approaching 30,000 Miles and a little over 2 years old (99 1/2) my TDI has been very reliable and continues to be well loved.
The TDI doesn’t show its to relation my Mom's...

Pros: Fuel mileage. Handling. Styling. Huge trunk. Fun factor!
Cons: Rear seat leg room. Window regulators.
The Bottom Line: Get one if you can. Quick (fast!) and frugal on fuel.
Diesel. This is a word that conjurs opinions from automobile owners of noisy, dirty cars and especially trucks. Obviously these people have never been introduced to the Volkswagen TDI line of cars.
The TDI is a fantastic diesel engine!...

Pros: superfast, very stylish
Cons: funky windshield wipers, soft handling
Ok, I've wanted one of these for years. I was about to buy one back in 1998, but then I heard of the new model, and since 1998 was becoming a bad year for jettas, I waited.
I picked up a 2000 GLX a couple months ago. If I was able to rate the...

Pros: Styling, engine performance
Cons: Storage space, rear seat, reliability
I was very impressed when I test drove this car. It definitely outclasses and outperforms the competition in its class as it's loaded with excellent standard equipment.
The Jetta is nicely available with 4 engines (in order of cost): 2.0...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: fuel economy, active/passive safety features
Cons: added timing belt change costs
This is my second TDI, the first was a '98. I drive about 100,000 km (60,000 miles) per year and lease the vehicle. The difference in the body styles from my point of view is amazing. I rarely carry passengers so the tighter rear seats of the new model...
