2007 Volkswagen Jetta - Reliable

Purchased this car with 175k on it, and it is still going strong at 190k. I had the intention of using this car as a beater to get to and from work, but I have enjoyed it much more than I anticipated.

Story

About a week after I purchased the car, I got a flat tire while on a vacation, and it was pouring rain. I will admit I did not look to see if it came with a full spare, a donut or if any of the equipment to change the tire was in the truck. Well luckily, whoever owned the vehicle previously, had never used any of the equipment and even with the wheel lock, it was the easiest tire I have ever h... (more)

Pros

Great fuel economy—28+ MPG. All black interior. Leather seats. Heated front seats. Good back seat leg room.

Cons

As a golfer, I always want to have my golf clubs on me. The trunk space is nice for a car of this size, but when a golf bag is added, it severely diminishes the space available for anything else. Sunroof will sometimes open to the moon roof setting without the knob being touched.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta - The GLI is fun but expensive to fix.

I bought a 2013 VW Jetta GLI in the summer of 2015. I didn't realize at the time that it would be pretty addicting to drive. It's not the fastest (by far), and it's not the roomiest, but it just goes—especially on back roads.

Story

Heading down a steep road in the snow, losing traction, and pulling a full three rotations before righting exactly in the proper direct on the proper side of the road. Phew!

Pros

It has launch control, and while it's not perfect, I prefer it to the old fashioned methods of launching from a dead stop. It also makes it easier to take off on wet roads. The headlights on it are also great, especially for rural areas. We have a lot of deer, and these project well off the sides of the road when the high beams are on. The seats feel secure enough. VW seats are always hit-or-miss for long trips. I'm a bony person, so naturally I find them quite nice.

Cons

I can't stand VW's touchscreen "do everything" entertainment console nonsense, but once I got up to speed, it was serviceable. The Bluetooth is really annoying to pair, at least for me.
