Used Volkswagen Jetta for Sale in Durham, NC

I love to drive my Volkswagen Jetta. It has a nice "punch" to the driving-- it accelerates quickly, takes turns well, and has responsive brakes. I find other similar cars to not be as much fun to drive. I have owned my Volkswagen Jetta for about 10 years now and found it to be an enjoyable car to drive while I'm young and am mostly driving by myself. However, my Jetta has a lot of "quirky" problems that make me feel like it is unreliable. For example, the sunroof opens and closes randomly while I am driving it. The driver's side window stopped working. My locks have stopped working (they will lock but not unlock easily) and so I have not locked my car in about 6 months. A big metal piece (oil pan skid plate?) Straight up fell off of my car about 6 months ago. I have also had a lot of bigger maintenance issues such as replacing the engine coils. A few weeks ago my car would not start and I took it to the Volkswagen dealership (towed it there) and it worked fine for them and they were not able to determine what was wrong with it. I also need a new axle and there's a slight leak in my transmission. Overall, I would say that I have enjoyed owning and driving my Jetta but in the future will buy a more reliable car especially as I think about having a family.

My car is a white 2003 Jetta GL. I bought it used. It is a manual and rather "peppy." It does, however, have the worst clutch bite point of any manual transmission car I have ever driven. I stall it all the time, whereas otherwise I am fine driving a manual. Also, the window on the drivers side door does not stay all the way rolled up, and I have to cover it to keep rain from getting inside. Other than these problems, though, it is a workhorse. It is very reliable, and the interior is solidly constructed. Also, a note about the interior. It was apparently coated with a protectorant that now makes the entire car smell like melting crayons, but it doesn't take too long to get used to this.
