Cons: expensive maintenance if needed(fingers crossed)

The Bottom Line: The car was an excellent buy, gets great gas mileage and has plenty of space.

Review: What an awesome car. We love this car. It gets unbelievable gas mileage and with todays prices that means a lot of savings for me. Also my wife travels a lot for work so it saves us a ton of money on gas. It is surprisingly roomy for such a small car. ...

Pros: lots of safety features and attention to detail

Cons: brake and gas pedals too close, no change compartment, cupholders block radio!

The Bottom Line: When you've "grown up" from driving the cheaper imports, Jetta is there to show you what it's like to drive a car with true quality, great handling and overall sophistication.

Review: (100,000 mile update at bottom!) Swirl's Automotive History So I've got to give you a little background on my car history: 1997: Bought my first car, a 1985 Toyota Corolla SR5 with cute flip up headlights, for $1250. A great car, ...

Pros: smart keys, tiptronic, climate control, ESP

Cons: engine revs strangely during cold weather start, dumb cup holder

The Bottom Line: Over all, we love it! It's been good to us so far as we had it for 3 years and it's mostly trouble free.

Review: We had our Jetta GLX VR6 since June 2003 and has been pretty happy with it. We bought it originally because my wife own a 2001 Golf GL and was happy with it. We traded in the Golf GL for the Jetta GLX VR6. Likes: The first thing we loved was ...

Pros: Fine German engineering and attention to detail

Cons: Where in the States can I redline this puppy?

The Bottom Line: Damn the law - I wanna drive FASTER!

Review: This was to be the summer I let my freak flag fly. 30 years old in '03, I've been driving a beat up - but extremely reliable - 1991 VW Cabriolet for six years while I patiently waited for VW to get off its duff and release the convertible version of the...

Pros: Good looks, Good performance (1.8t, VR6), Comfort good

Cons: Squeaks/rattles, Not Honda reliability, Small sunvisors

The Bottom Line: I really like this sedan. It is nice looking and reliable enough for me. I will always take a look a Volkswagen's products in the future.

Pros: Good ride, handling, gas mileage and cargo space.

Cons: Low ground clearance and poor bumper design. Expensive parts and service.

The Bottom Line: Best commuter car available. Low maintenance, great mileage and comfortable ride.

Review: Bought this car in June 2003 to replace a F150 gas guzzler on long commutes from country to work. Have been very pleased with overall performance. I get 43 to 45 mpg consistently while driving hard (heavy acceleration and cruising over the speed limit). ...

Pros: BMW performance and style for a VW pricetag.

Cons: driver windblast, transmission lag, small back seat.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Jetta as a successful blend of performance, practicality, and style. An excellent two-person vehicle!

Review: After owning my 2003 Jetta Wagon 1.8T GLX for 14 months, I am pleased to report that, despite some minor flaws, the Jetta has really exceeded my expectations. As a near-luxury compact wagon, the Jetta has delivered almost perfectly on my driving ...

Pros: Fuel economy, handling, looks

The Bottom Line: The ultra fuel efficient, environmentally sound, great fun, performer is highly recommended.

Review: Welcome to the world of a fun filled rocket that's great on gas!!!

Thought I would post my review of the 2003 Jetta TDI Sedan. I have been an owner of a 1999 Passat GLX for the past 4 years. I "downgraded" to the Jetta TDI for several...

Pros: Drives nice, stable, quick and comfortable.

Cons: Can be a gas sucker, uses Syntetic Oil (expensive oil change)

The Bottom Line: good road response, quick, complete control over vehicle. Resonably priced, and looks nice. {it is not a ghetto honda :) }

Review: I purchased this car used from a VW dealer in Fl. I once owned a Saab 900 s, and I loved driving that car. Due to my occupation, driving from office to office in constant traffic, the Saab was not happy so I decided it was time to buy another car… I ...
