2003 Volkswagen Jetta - Volkswagen all the way!

When it was time for me to upgrade my car it was an exciting time though it was also nerve racking. I had learned a lot watching a few friends purchase from off beat pre-owned places and craigslist. I did my research and decided that a more certified lot was the only way for me to guarantee that I wouldn't be throwing hard earned money away. Volkswagen has a lot of dealers in my area (Seattle) and was one of the first cars I had in mind. I chose a '03 Jetta Passat. It has been perfect for the last year. No servicing has been needed and I have the next two for free in house. There is nothing bad about this car, and I'd say the model is ahead of it's time. I can see driving this car for a few more years through college and that is my plan.

Story

I got the car before my graduation and we dressed it up in our class colors and goodbye text on the windows. Many trips to the beach this summer.. I have a good sentimental feeling for this car.

Pros

The shape of the car is beautiful - I've seen a few and they look good in different colors. I have a deep silver and it looks very professional. The price was affordable and with my dealer I got many perks when buying through them.

Cons

There is nothing bad about this car! It is absent of a few modern technologies but the price is reflective over the years.

2010 Volkswagen Jetta - Reliable performance despite critics.

We acquired our 2010 VW Jetta back in 2013. Shortly afterwards, we began hearing a spectrum of bad stories about Jettas that had us pretty apprehensive. We also became concerned about the fact that Jettas are, like other German cars, more difficult to maintain. Overall, our fears have been misplaced. Our Jetta has performed very well for the past four years, despite commuting ~45 minutes both directions from work on a daily (during the week) basis.

Story

We used this car to pick up our dog from the agency we adopted him through. He was so nervous during the ride home - he was shaking and laying down with my wife in the back. Now, he loves having the windows down so he can put his head outside. His ears flap in the wind. We love taking him for drives.

Pros

In essence, everything besides the minor things mentioned below. The Jetta gets good gas mileage, has required minimal maintenance, is entirely comfortable, and, in general, functions as intended.

Cons

There have been several minor wiring issues with the car. For instance, the back rear door on the driver's side remains locked or unlocked despite attempts to lock/unlock either from the driver's seat controls or from the key fob. Similarly, there was a period of time where the gas hatch had to be operated manually (reaching in through the trunk and pulling a lever on the gas intake side of the vehicle) because the switch beside the driver's seat was not opening it.
