2016 Volkswagen Jetta - Great gas efficient reliable car.
I really like the way the Jetta handles and the fact that it has great gas mileage. It drives smoothly and I never fishtail in rain. It has a great audio system and the braking is quick and powerful but not to the point of being aggravating. The pain also doesn't peel the way that my Corolla did, so that is a definite bonus. I would definitely recommend and purchase this vehicle again. It likely will last for over a decade and will have minimal wear and tear. I would recommend it to a friend or family member in a heartbeat. One of, if not THE, most reliable car I've ever had. It also doesn't have the poor tendency of hubcaps falling off which many other sedans have. In short, I'm very happy with my purchase.
Story
I drove up to wine country (Santa Ynez) in this vehicle. I also drove to New Mexico and Arizona in this vehicle. It held up very well the entire trip and I never had any problems with overheating or melting windshield wipers like I have in the past.
Pros
I only have to fill up with gas once every two weeks, the paint doesn't peel, the audio system is excellent, the driving is very smooth and the vehicle handles well. No fish tailing in the rain and it stops quickly without sliding. The vehicle is also very sturdy and well built. There is ample trunk space for groceries and other things.
Cons
Changing the clock is a pain in the ass- it doesn't update for daylight savings automatically which is very annoying and it is unnecessarily difficult to adjust the clock settings.
1998 Volkswagen Jetta - The green thing
So I owned a green 1998 VW Jetta Cabriolet with a 2.0 engine for about a year. I don't remember the exact mileage but it had roughly around 200-300,000 miles on it.
the paint was still nice and the top didn't have any tears. the engine ran strong with good mpg in the early stages of our relationship. I enjoyed the way it drove and I drove it pretty hard at times.
I payed about $2,000 for it and to me it was well worth it. Like I said before the Exterior was nice, the engine was strong, and it handled the road.
My only dislikes about the car was the interior. The door handle broke more than once, the seats were a little beat up, the trim on the dashboard was cracking in a "made of cheap plastic" way.
the radio worked when it wanted to and a window actuator stopped working.
eventually ... (more)
