Pros: Reliable, fast, German engine with amazing sound system.
Cons: When it breaks, you're broke.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this as a safe and reliable car. However I would caution those with limited budgets for repairs.
Thinking of buying a used Jetta? I bought my Jetta in August of '05 with 78k miles on it. It's a black 1.8T, standard transmission. The price was right, about $8,300 and it tested very well. Love at first drive. After reading various reviews ...

Pros: Euro-cool styling, solid construction, fuel mileage, nifty German engineering
Cons: Rear leg and head room, short warranty compared to others in class
The Bottom Line: Nice balance of economy, quality and style. The TDI engine is a great choice if diesel is available where you're traveling.
It's a question I heard a lot at the pump after I purchased the 2001 VW Jetta TDI. I have heard everything from, "What kind of mileage do you get?" to "Is that one of those hybrids?" :)
Why the VW Jetta TDI?
The VW is my first...

Pros: European feel. Great value for the dollar.
Cons: Backseat is cramped for adults.
The Bottom Line: A great balance between German quality, performance, affordability, family and economy.
I bought my 2001 VW Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg about a week ago, and absolutely love it. The look, feel and performance are equal (and in some cases greater) than more expensive German manufacturers; like BMW and Audi.

After having massive troubles with my Plymouth Neon (see http://www.epinions.com/auto-review-3D29-E50E87F-3900AF15-prod6 )I decided I HAD to get a new car. I wasn't particularly interested in...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Solid/user friendly/full spare/resale/reliability
Cons: Smaller interior than previous design/ no six speed
The current success of VW has been built primarily on the appeal of the Jetta.
Over the years I have owned many Volkswagen products and for 5+ years I owned a small repair/sales business that earned a good portion of its income from loyal VW...

Pros: Quality, speed, stereo, quiet ride, fun to drive
Cons: Very little backseat space, light interior can easily stain.
The Bottom Line: Go buy it now, if you don't, you'll be Sorrrrrrrry!!!!
First, let me mention that if you are not a member of Costco, you should try to join one before you purchase any new car. They have an Auto Purchase program with a network of dealers that agree to only charge a hundred to two hundred dollars over their...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: handling: responsiveness and stability; interior and exterior design, style and ergonomics; speed
Cons: minor quality problems
The Bottom Line: A Jetta will turn you on to the possibilities of driving.
When it came to buying a new car, I looked for three things. Fun driving experience makes the top of the list. I did not want to become one of those mindless driving zombies you see out on the road because they bought a Chevy Malibu or a Toyota Corolla....

Pros: Quick Engine, Great Handling, Quiet, fun to drive, Interior has sporty feel, rims look great, sport package is a steal, Leather smells and feels great, You feel like you are driving a inexpensive BMW
Cons: Needs Better Brake Feel, Seats are really Uncomfortable and have old-school adjustment knobs, black interior gets shows dirt and scratches easy, Reverse is jerky, door doesn't shut tight, small trunk opening, the car is smaller then the old model, and need
This little car is a blast! It feels rich and very "German". Having just returned from a 3 day road trip across California, I can finally tell you my feelings for this little car with confidence.
My girlfriend purchased this car to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: great luxury for price, superior handling, trunk space, sound system, great pickup
Cons: back seat leg room, location of radio & climate controls, no standard CD player
The Bottom Line: I would certainly recommend this high end Jetta over a low end Audi or BMW. Great car for the money!
I recently bought a 2001 VW Jetta GLX, galactic blue, with tan leather interior. Okay, this car just feels good. The first passenger I took out in the car said, "This is a Volkswagen? I feel more like I'm in a BMW!" That's basically what I feel like...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No 
Pros: Great mileage (47mpg), great handling,(steering & braking). Good acceleration
Cons: Cramped interior, safety warnings shutdown prior to correction, mirror buttons difficult, not enough seat adjustments.
The Bottom Line: The best car for commuters when size is not a concern. Not recommended for use as a family car. Supposedly seats five. It will. Like a can of Sardines!
I was driving a Volvo 850 with all the trim. It, however, was averaging only 28 miles to the gallon and I was putting almost 400 miles a week on the car. We decide that a new diesel was better suited to my commuting needs than was my 20 valve overhead...

Pros: Great Standard Features, Excellent Handling
Cons: No Standard CD Player, Back Seat Leg Space
After having driven two Toyotas, one a Corolla and the other a Tercel, I decided that I would stick with Toyota unless something knocked me over with its greatness.
I thought that nothing would beat out a new Camry or Corolla, but what did I...

Pros: Great torque/acceleration, Good Looking with continued great fuel economy.
Cons: Customer service poor, continual repairs.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend esp for around town errands, may be too small for long trips. Excellent gas mileage, high quality craftsmanship
Now after 35,00 miles, my wife will NEVER buy another VW!!!. Every time we take the car for regular maintainance or state inspections, something else is "wrong" with it and has to be fixed. The dash warning light came on, no idea why, dealer said brake ...

Pros: Sweet Design, Great Gas Mileage, Excellent Features
Cons: Neon Blue Lights
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a new smaller car that will last you a long time, you must give this car a test drive.
Volkswagen has outdone itself again! Volkswagen is constantly innovating the industry. Think about Volkswagen's that you've seen.
The Beetle. There has never been, and never will be another car such as this one. And the release of the...
