its a super fun vehicle to drive, I drive the 1.8T Manual transmission. Its not the most reliable vehicle in the world but I can't complain. I have more than 200K on it and it drives great. I prefer my jetta to a new one. more power good millage. tons of fun. I have spent some money on my suspension and that's the only problem I had. I drive it hard so far so good.

the only reason I bought this car is reliability. bought it with low K and no mechanical problem and been good so far( I am an aggressive driver). happy that didn't spend the money on newer one.
