I purchased this car as a demo model from a Volkswagen dealership with 5000 miles on it. It now has 225,000 miles on it and, other than regular upkeep, I have not had to make any repairs and it is still running well. It is powerful for a small car, and the gas mileage is great. I drive it in the winter and on dirt roads and it handles well. Even with a manual transmission, I haven't had any problems with the engine despite the high mileage. I think it will still be running for a few years.

I purchased my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta in 2009 and I paid for it in cash. It was used when I first bought it and it had 66,456 miles on the odometer. The body was in great shape and it had no visible scratches and absolutely no rust. The inside of the car was kept in very pristine condition. I currently average driving around 500 miles a week and I usually only have to fill up about once a week. On my odometer it says that I average about 28 miles per gallon in the city. On the highway I average about 32 miles per gallon.
