This year's VW Jetta Sedan is a sporty yet practical looking vehicle. I have bought 2 Jettas and I like this 2008 Sedan model the best! The car has been driven many miles, over 100,000 and I am the 2nd owner of the vehicle. The interior roof liner has fallen and I have had it repaired, so that's a negative. Last year the gas tank opener square on the side of the vehicle locked on me and the automatic unlock malfunctioned and wouldn't open the area on the side of the car so that I could fuel it up, arggg. But overall I really like my car. These two things are the only problems that have arisen on the vehicle. The vehicle is a smooth ride and very comfortable seating. My vehicle has a sunroof and it's weather striping did come loose last year as well, the dealership repaired that problem in one day at no cost to me. My gasoline mileage comes to about 29 miles per gallon on the highway and about 23 miles per gallon in the city. I have the regular fuel model and enjoy it. I also looked for a sedan model and choose it as well, because I have a large family and the kids are able to get in and out comfortable and easily. I am over all very pleased with my purchase and have had no serious problems with the vehicle. I would recommend it to others.

When I first bought my Jetta in 2008, I loved it. It drives very nice overall and is very responsive. After a year or two, I started noticing the sunroof having a mind of its own. It will move itself up and down on its own, which makes me nervous that the electrical components are not very good. The light bulbs for the headlights also have to be replaced often, but I have been told it's just because the style of light is more high powered, so it's just the price you pay for a car like this. Same for the spark plugs. They burn out faster than most cars, but it has to do with the performance of the car, so I can't complain too much about that. The past few years we have had to pour in about $4,000 in repairs, most of which was not routine maintenance. It makes me wonder if leasing a new Jetta every couple years would have not been much more expensive and less stressful. The design of the car I love inside and out, but unfortunately, the leather on the door has had to be glued back on as it was starting to fall off in the center on three of the doors, and the fabric on the ceiling also has been coming out, so now that has to be replaced too. Overall, it is a nice-looking and nice-performing car, but its longevity is not the best.
