My 2008 VW Jetta is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It has gone over 126,000 miles and the only thing I have had to do was change the oil, light bulbs, tires, and break pads. While that seems like a lot, there has really been no mechanical problems what so ever! 2.0T engine is great, and the 6 speed manual is engaging and fun. A great car from a great company.
