I bought this car used three years ago. The plastic interior surfaces have a weird sticky texture that when scratched off reveals a hard plastic, so I assume the plastic areas had a layer of a plastic or rubber that had a particular texture effect that degraded over time. I like that the car has plenty of room for passengers as well as room for almost any cargo that could fit in the back of an SUV. I dislike how there is an effect on the engine that occurs when there is a rapid environmental temperature change that caused the engine to misfire for the first few miles of a trip before it works its self out. I have taken this to the shop and they do not know what I am talking about and cannot fix it. I dislike the gas mileage, though it is acceptable for a station wagon type car. I like the color because it stands out. I like the moonroof. I like how the backseats can collapse down flat if I am transporting a large amount of cargo and need the extra space. I dislike how I am unable to quickly adjust my seat position as I cannot lean back quick to check the backseat or recline when eating in my car.

I purchased this car in the winter of 2014 and so far it has gotten me to many places without issue. The car has over 130k miles on it and it is still running. It is older than I am yet it's in practically brand new condition. The only problem that I have is the fact that it eats through oil so quickly, but other than that it's a great car. I have traveled all over the country in this car. From PA to NYC to California, it takes me everywhere with no issues. It isn't the fastest, but it gets me where I need to go. I love the fact that it's excellent on mpg. I don't pay as much for gas as I did in other vehicles. A full tank goes a long way as well. I happen to adore the style of the Jetta as well. I love how small, light and boxy it is. My all time favorite characteristic of this car is the headlights. I had the round ones put in and they make the car look so vintage. I love how old it feels to me as I am a huge fan of older cars. I can fit my mountain bike on the bike rack which makes this car so convenient when it comes to carrying things that are important to me. Definitely a great car and I highly recommend it to anyone out there!
