2015 Volkswagen Jetta - An efficient and reliable compact car.

Overall, I think that the Volkswagen Jetta is a great investment. I was looking for a compact sedan and test drove a few other options before deciding on leasing this car. Even though it is a compact sedan, the interior and trunk spaces are roomy. I have had no issues in terms of maintenance. I go in once a year for a checkup/oil change but have had no repair costs outside of that. I only drive my car on the weekends, since I don't need it for commuting, but I have found the gas mileage to be efficient. The sound system and all of the electronic features still work perfectly after two years.

Story

After moving to a new town, I made a trip to Ikea for new furniture with this car. I wasn't sure that the trunk space would be enough, but I was pleasantly surprised. All of my purchases fit, including very large boxes of shelves (after putting the seats down in the backseat of course).

Pros

The car has great fuel efficiency. I have had no repair costs on any components after two years of leasing the car. The car is compact but still roomy enough for long drives. The car's handling is responsive.

Cons

My only negative response to the vehicle is that some of the plastic parts used in the interior seem a little bit cheap. There is some rattling that occurs on the highway from some of the plastic side paneling.

2003 Volkswagen Jetta - Starter Vehicle

I bought this car from a certified dealership. The car was used, with 32,000 miles on it when I bought it. Upon test drive, the car ran smoothly and comfortably. I loved the leather interior and ice cold air conditioning. It was an automatic with "trip-tronic" gears that I could shift myself. The sporty aspects of this car sold me the most. During the test drive, the moon roof kept opening by itself, which I didn't like too much, but I bought the car anyways once they assured me the moon roof would be fixed.

Story

I would take this vehicle to the beach everyday after work. Not always did I take it to the same beach, as everyday was a new beach adventure. It got tons of sand and salt smell in it, which made the vehicle that much better to be in. It always got me to the beach, and it always got me back home.

Pros

The vehicle fits 5 people, has a great body, and included moon roof, cd player, air conditioning, heated seats, roomy trunk, leather seats, tape player, tinted windows, ABS brakes, V6 engine, and low mileage. The car is fast, and speeds up to 65 MPH in only a few seconds. Great handling on curves and around corners.

Cons

The vehicle's engine is made up of primarily plastic parts. The hoses and coolant consistently leaks. The vacuum hoses have broke, needing a full repair. The cars fuel injector has failed, and needed to be replaced. All of these repairs cost over a 1,000 dollars per repair, because it is a German vehicle and parts are more expensive. The interior of the car was falling apart, with door handle trims falling off, and knobs on the radio player falling off and breaking.
