I bought my Jetta after a car accident totaled my previous car in 2008. It was in good condition but had high mileage. I loved the design of the car -- it's easy and functional. I prefer a compact car. The car had the iconic Volkswagen look inside and out. Upon hitting 200,000 miles, however, I began to have expensive car repairs. This is understandable at the mileage marker, but I bought it under the understanding that many of the "expensive" items had been replaced. I did like the ease of the car. Even though it was small, I could fit my boyfriend, guitar case & amp to take to different gigs I played around the city. I sold it in 2011.

The Jetta has very good fuel economy. It is very quick. I like the sound that the engine makes. The interior of the car feels like that of a much more luxury car. Despite there being hard plastic in the interior, the look and feel of the plastic is very nice. I like the digital displays, particularly the red contrast of the speedometer. I like the functionality of the stereo system. It is very user friendly and easy to navigate. When I give rides to friends, they always complement me on how nice my car is. One of the best aspects of owning a Volkswagen is the level of service I receive when taking my vehicle in for maintenance. I have had great customer service each time I take it in for the periodic maintenance. I would be more than happy to recommend this vehicle to my friends. I plan on owning this vehicle for a long time and will trade it in for another Volkswagen in the future.
