I bought the Jetta because it was the only car the lot would offer me with my credit and down payment. I was skeptical at first because it looked very small from the outside. I have been using it for almost two years now, and I am continuously impressed with how much I can actually fit into the car. My favorite: While redoing a closet, we fit 3 door slabs, six 8-foot lengths of trim, and the roller kit for the install. The Jetta is the best work truck I have ever owned.

The 2001 Volkswagen Jetta has been a reliable vehicle and would be a good car for those of any age. It has excellent gas mileage and a luxurious interior makes for extreme comfort during long rides. There are a few drawbacks however. There have been several expensive repairs that have included tie rods, timing belt, and control arm. The TDI model also features sluggish performance that struggles to get up to highway speeds. Overall, the 2001 Volkswagen Jetta is a good daily driver, but if you are looking for an exciting experience, look elsewhere.
