We bought this car with "high mileage" but didn't see any problems until we drove over 100,000 miles. And even then, it was only a small oil leak that we kept on top of. At around 120,000 the transmission started to slip. We drove it longer than we should have, which drove up the cost of the repair when we finally did get it fixed. At a cost close to the value of the car itself, the repair almost broke us be we agreed that this was such a great car it was worth it. We have no regrets. It drives like it did during our test drive and we are in love again.

When I was driving the Volkswagen Jetta I appreciated the sportiness of the vehicle. The drive train and transmission were responsive to my needs which makes it very safe for transporting family members and particularly the handling during poor weather conditions really sets a parents' mind at ease.
