This is mostly a good car, with a few problems. I find it to be generally reliable and safe, but problems with the radiator and electrical system bring down my rating.

This Jetta has been owned by 3 members of my family. We have been good at doing the maintenance and tune-ups required with owning a vehicle, and have been rewarded with a card that really hasn't given us any major problems. Which is pretty impressive when I think about how many people learned to drive a stick with that vehicle.
