I love my 2004 VW Jetta Turbo! I've owned it for just over 3 years now. It's super fun to drive, good on gas, great for parking in tight spaces and maneuvering through traffic and has some serious kick (turbo)!

When we first bought this car it was just me, my husband and (at the time) his 9 year old son. Fast forward 3 years and my step son is a HUGE 12 year old and we've added a dog and a baby girl. This is NOT a good family car- too small. Our stroller barely fit in the trunk and getting my daughter in and out of her car seat is a SUPER pain in the a**.

Oil changes and maintenance are more expensive with this car than with other cars due to its import status. Also, for some reason our headlights are ALWAYS burning out. Not sure why.

This car is cute, powerful and good on gas, but if you're looking for a family car....look elsewhere.
