Will never sell !! - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By farfromsingle - August 18 - 10:00 amLove it! What else is there to say? The 1.8 liter gets the gas milage I like, but the turbo makes sure that Im not the slowest thing on the road. Handles the road just like my Porsche 944. The parts arent cheap, but you dont have to buy them often. Watch the oil changes. Dirty oil clogs the turbo.

European perfection. - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By FelipeAG - August 18 - 10:00 amI own a New Jetta GLS, I drive a lot of miles per month and the car hasnt given me any troubles at all.I love my Jetta and I plan to keep until it doesnt want to run any more...(years and years from now) Fuel economy is excellent I drive from Orlando to Miami with a lot less than a tank of fuel. Styling is just pure European perfection..Europeans definatelly know how to design cars. I just love my car, it is one really good decision that I made. Volkswagen and all European cars are # 1.

This is MY car! - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By Marcus - August 12 - 12:56 pmIve read some of the reviews here, so I have chosen to write something positive. Dealerships are Robbing you! The Idea of these Tdis Is to maintain them properly. And knowledge is your best friend. My Tdi is amazing.. Excellent power and fun to drive. Yes there are electrical issues, but that is a far shot from getting 400 to 500 thousand miles out of your engine life. Get a mechanic that is competent and KNOWS the tdi and you are set.. I do ALL of my maintenance myself, How? Research. And these cars are easy to work on. Dont let the vw dealerships take you hard earned money.

Great First Car!!! - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By Chris Selph - June 11 - 1:10 amI bought this car for $3500 from a military family in August of 2009 at 98,000 miles. I have had no issues with the car since The previous owners took very good care of the car. As far as interior problems the only things that have gone for me are the clove compartment hinge and cupholder. Luckily I know a friend who has an extra cupholder, so that fixes that issue and the glove compartment isnt that big of a deal. I get about 32-40 mpgs depending how I drive. Also I take very good care of the engine and components and havent had any problems yet. Being at 102,000 miles I am considering getting the timing belt/water pump changed.

Matts 00 Jetta Review - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By MattB - May 28 - 10:00 amI love the car. No major complaints, just a few minor ones. The cupholder is terrible. Its flimsy and rattles all the time, whether its pushed in or extended. It does not expand to fit other sizes of cups. The transmission (auto.) is also a little screwy. Frequently, when slowing down for a stoplight, it will suddenly drop to 1st gear, propelling me forward. A minor annoyance, but sometimes I just dont like the way it shifts. However, the car rides very nicely, is quite comfortable; even though Im six feet tall, I still dont feel terribly cramped. There is not much room for average-sized humans in the back, though.

You have to love your jetta! - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By Arkainshadow - May 24 - 2:00 amI have destroyed 5 cars now. I really drive my cars hard. This jetta is by far the finest car ive driven. It kicks BMWs ass in everything but quality and gadgets. When i purchased the car the check engine light came on because of the mass air flow and turbo cutoff switch, dealer fixed everything under warranty. car was in dealer for 2 days. dealer explained to me how you have to use 91 octain fuel to protect the sensors and components. Since ive followed the fuel requirements i have been nothing but 100% impressed with this car. It hugs the road like a 60k+ sports car and the 150hp 1.8L turbo acts like a compariable 3.0 v6 without the low gas mileage

Awesome Car - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By JERRY - March 30 - 9:46 pmI loved my Jetta, handled wonderfully, quick acceleration up to third gear. Very comfortable, reliable. Never had a problem, except for cheap watered down gas. Fun to drive. Extremely sturdy. Only reason I dont have it anymore is that an F150 slammed into me. The car was able to get me home, but it was deemed a total loss due to bent frame.

First VW for Me - 2000 Volkswagen Jetta
By PAWWAP - February 27 - 2:00 amI just got the Jetta GLS 4D and am having a blast. I am, admittedly, coming off a minivan so I am an easy mark for some fun, but this car is giving me joy in driving again. I am a big guy (6 foot 230 pounds) but the drivers seat is very comfortable for me, with lots of excellent body support. The car handles very well, and is peppy enough to make me feel like Im driving again. Interior controls are great, and the dash lighting is spiffy. The trunk is bigger than it looks like it possibly coulod be, and the sunroof is very nice. Back seat is very tight. My wife and I are ready to just enjoy riding together again, and this perky red Jetta is just the ticket.
