This car has lasted me a long time, 8 years to be exact with only basic maintenance. I love that it has not had any major engine issues and the only money I have had to put into it is for regular wear and tear of a vehicle. Also, I love the interior lighting and the pop out cup holders in the front seat. This car gets amazing gas mileage as well. What I do not like is how little the car is. I wish that the car could be a little bigger in the back seat for passengers and kids to ride in without putting their dirty feet on the back of my seats.

It was red. It was a VW Jetta. It was one of the best cars I have ever owned. I have driven for over 60 years and owned many cars. It was responsive, taking off like a little bunny when I wanted to. It was a reliable "starter" even in mid winter in Chicago. Okay, I'll have to admit it was not a car for large families or rock bands, but it was perfect for me and my friends..
