This car keeps going and going. The care has held up for a long time. It has a tight turn radius making maneuvering easy. It is very easy to park in tight parking spots or small spaces. However, many things both small and large broke on this vehicle, meaning repairs are costly. Even small parts, like the windshield wiper motor, are expensive to repair. While the car has lasted, many parts have had to be replaced or are missing entirely since I cannot replace them.

I bought the Volkswagen Jetta SE in January 2011. The total cost of the car was great for about 20,000 plus finance charges. The options that came with the car were great because I could customize it for cheaper than Toyota Camry or something equivalent. It has leather interior, 6 cd changer, sun roof with blue tooth connection. I have put 100,000 miles on it and the car still runs smoothly. The tires needed to be replaced twice in 6 years, the brakes are still going strong. The trunk space and size of the interior is great. I can fit a car seat and still comfortably fit 4 adults. My 3 dogs would travel as well and never had an issue. The leather makes it really easy to clean. Gas mileage was better than expected averaging about 30 miles a gallon. The only issue I have is that my car radio has died. VW wanted close to 1000.00$ to identify the issue and repair it. I also had an iPod explode when it was connected to the pre-installed charging chord. Foreign car parts tend to run higher but that is my only complaint. Drives and handles well and the turn radius is phenomenal.
