I bought the car new with 7 miles on it and have put about 120,000+ miles on it in 4 years. The car runs fine though I recently had to get the transmission replaced. There are no strange sounds coming from it other than when I plug in my mp3 player into the stereo while charging it. When I accelerate or use the blinkers a high whistle or static, respectively, will come through the speakers. It stops once the charger is disconnected. Its not a big deal, just weird.

Car was excellent on gas and had very little problems. I maintained it with oil changes and tire rotation, etc., And it was best car I had.

The Jetta is a very sporty sedan with amazing comfort. The engine is very fuel efficient and quiet at highway speeds. Roomy cabin, with plenty of space in back for adults.
