Expensive repairs and a gas guzzler.
I'm really unhappy with this car. Mostly because it has terrible fuel mileage and is ridiculously expensive to fix due to the foreign parts. I feel like I'm always having to take it to the shop to fix something, which ends up being much more troublesome than I anticipated.

It's a great piece of junk.
Has had every problem possible, but when it isn't having a problem it's a great car. Have had to replace the water pump twice, the oil pan twice, the alternator, fuel pump, battery and now the reverse does not work until the car has been idling running for 40 minutes or driving for about 15 minutes. The wheels are about to fall off but it has 230k miles. I love to hate my Jetta and I hate to love it. Leather heated seats still work great.

The Jetta is very durable and low maintenance. It is fun to drive!
I like my car because it is very reliable and has lasted a long time! It has a solid feel to it and is comfortable to drive. No complaints!

Great car that performs well and has good features.
Performs. Great gets great mileage rides very well. Easy on maintenance. Overall performance is superb. The interior has lots extra features like heated seat. The car also has a sunroof. It has power windows and power door locks. I would recommend this car to my family and friends.

It is really expensive to repair it.when it gets to a certain age it will have a ton of car repairs and cost a ton of money
It's a great car but when they get older they are a constant money pit of repairs, and the parts are ridiculously expensive and you need to get them from the dealer

Green Volkswagen station wagon.
This car seems to have some minor electrical problems from time to time. I bought it used and the previous owners took great care of the engine, but the interior is horrible. Once I got it cleaned up it drove very smooth and parts for it are pretty reasonable. Overall it is very dependable though.

I love that its a compact car, fits anywhere!.. Which can be a bad thing because we have a baby and his stuff takes up everything.. The parts to fix the car are expensive and hard to get!.

2002 VW Jetta TDI - 17 years old and still runs like a dream
I love my Jetta! I have the TDI, so the gas mileage is great! Even at more than 15 years old, I'm still getting upwards of 35 mpg. (for a 2002, that's pretty fantastic) The wagon is plenty spacious when we need to haul stuff. We have even been able to pack two sets of skis plus all the gear and a cooler in the back (with the seats folded down) for ski weekends. With regular maintenance, oil changes, and basic upkeep over the entire life of the car I have only needed to replace the battery and the starter. (Both just from normal aging and general wear, not because of defects and both only once) I would recommend a VW to anyone and when I do have to say goodbye to my Jetta, I will definitely be looking at a new VW.

That it is a compact fun car for those that like standard transmission.
Very small back area. Love that it's a 5 speed. Like the seat warmers. Doesn't get as good gas mileage per gallon as my Mazda MX 6 did.
Amber S

Good mpg, automatic (windows), heated seats.
Even though this car was made in 2002 it has automatic windows, sunroof and adjustable heated seats. I love a wagons ability to fold up back seats making it very spacious, especially for dog owners. I think the cup holder placement could have been better, as it sits right over radio so you cannot see it.

Powers up hills and gets decent gas mileage.
I love my car! Unfortunately, the parts for it are more expensive than for, say, a Honda or a Toyota would be, but I think it is worth the few extra dollars personally just because I have a soft spot for Volkswagens. I have had a few issues with my car, but it is 16 years old now and I know that cars do not last forever, so I have been very happy with it. Really the only thing that drives me out of my mind is that there are only two cup holders for a car with five seats. Otherwise, it is very comfortable, even for long trips, gets pretty good gas mileage, and powers up hills with not even a hint of a struggle. Overall I really like my car and its quirks just add character.

Kati R
on April 9, 2020
Fantastically reliable car for all conditions.
My Jetta has been very reliable, and so far has made it over 200,000 miles. The one main issue it really has is that it burns oil. It's not much of a problem; I just check the oil about every other tank of gas and add a little if necessary and then it's just fine. Other than that, the back seat would be nicer if there was a bit more leg room. Other than those two minor things, I love my car, and it has lasted through many years of boiling Minnesota summers and obscenely cold Minnesota winters as well as road trips, rural driving, and city driving.
Marie M
on April 7, 2020
It has been a very reliable car with great gas mileage. And until very recently we never had any major issues (maintenance/repairs) with it, but it isn't surprising with how old it is and the many miles we've put on it. I feel it is a very safe car and the only complaint is that it could be a little more comfortable, but for price it is a great car and most likely will get the same make, possibly the same model when we finally need to get a new car.
That it is safe, reliable and gets good gas mileage.

Nobody really wants to work on a German car. And the repairs are expensive.
I like that it is small and compact, I dislike that in the past year so many things are either falling over and needing repair.
Jon L

Quality but no quickness.
The VW Jetta tdi is a reliable and easy to drive car. Good gas mileage at 40 mph freeway and 27 city makes for painless and infrequent trips to fill it. Although the handling could be better it doesn't present problems on the road. If you want power and quickness this is nit the car for you. It dies freeway speeds effortlessly but does not enjoy a quick response to the fuel pedal.
Dominic M
on February 19, 2020
The quality of the vehicle paint.
I love that the car gets great gas mileage. I love that the care is super easy to handle. I love that the car sleek looking. I dislike that the replacement parts are a little hard to replace because of the compact size of the car.

Maintenance is key to vehicle longevity.
My vehicle is over 10 years old with over 260k miles on the original engine. No major work has needed to be done. I have just maintained the vehicle as it should be and it has treated me well. It has only given me one major problem when commuting during the over 100k miles I put on it which was due to a worn alternator. That is not even a major item. Maintenance is the key factor to prolong the life of a vehicle. Even something as simple as rotating tires can prolong the life of the tires and cause they to wear evenly and properly.

The ever so reliable Volkswagen Jetta
My Jetta is a great car. It is great on gas and is relatively cheap to fill up with today's constantly rising gas prices. I have found it really easy and inexpensive to fix. The most common problem I've found with the Jettas of this year are in the electrical system. There are little bugs and glitches in it as is common in anything that involves electricity. Normally caused from old connectors and wiring. But overall it is a extremely reliable car and is a great low maintenance and affordable automobile.

My Jetta James. That is her name.
My 2002 Volkswagen Jetta is a very mechanically sound car. I have been rear ended twice now by another vehicle hard enough to knock the entire bumper assembly completely off but both times the car has not had a single problem manifest itself mechanically. I have owned and driven this car ten years average miles. Keeping the oil changed and good tires with proper rotation and inflation have made a great difference in it is performance. This has been a major factor in the gas mileage it gets too. The same at average of 25-30 consistently with a 2. 0 liter 4 cylinder engine. The ride is smooth. My only problem has been the sun/moonroof seal leaking a little here and there. The automatic transmission shifts smooth and effortlessly. It uses no water and that was a concern of mine initially should that system have problems because the water pump is internal and repairs somewhat costly. Overall I love my Jetta even when I had no rear bumper twice for a short time. Great, sturdy and dependable.

Not the quickest but reliable.
I have owned my vehicle for over five years and have put over 150, 000 miles on it. I bought it used with around 110, 000 miles and currently have 260, 000 miles on it. I always perform the needed maintenance and have never had to have to perform any major repairs. The reliability is amazing and is a more simple model compared to others which is a benefit. My commute is about 100 miles round trip as opposed to short driving. It has a manual transmission which is reliable and simple. It is not the quickest but is good on gas.

It is a really good car. It is fast, handles good and is good on gas. It can have a lot of problems though. The check engine is on a lot. The transmission acts funny sometimes. It had a leaky sunroof. But it is a great car if you can afford the repairs.

Good car, great value for money. Will serve long.
No problems at all, rides perfect. Never failed during the ride, never asked for anything extra rather then oil change, filters, breaking pads, etc. . Just normal stuff to keep it always going. I use regular gas, fully synthetic oil. Good with Florida heat, as ac works great and stars blowing cold air straight after the car started.

Super reliable and very safe.
I like my gas mileage. It is an older car but still spacious enough for me to feel safe. Sometimes the gas gage is inaccurate which makes it hard for me to know when to fill up. My gas pedal sticks sometimes and it is scary.

My Volkswagens problems and flaws.
My vehicle is not reliable and has a lot of check engine problems, my gas meter is broken so I never really know how much gas I have in my car all the time. I have gone through multiple mechanical problems with my car regarding knock sensors, overheating, etc, and I also have a exhaust leak somewhere so when ever I have my ac on and I am stopped at a light my car will fill up with the smell of gas.

It is fast (turbo), dependable and gets excellent gas mileage.
I love that it is a stick shift and that it has taken me hundreds of thousands of miles with minimal trouble. I dislike that it does not have a cup holder where a cup holder is supposed to be.
Isaiah B

The gas mileage is the highlight of my vehicle.
It is really comfy an reliable, at the moment it needs a coil pack. Other then that is very good on gas, a tank of gas can last me a week or more if I fill it up at the beginning of the week, working every day. The only issue I have with it is the sun damaged paint and the stained seats other than that it is pristine condition. I take care of her and she takes care of me.

Pros and Cons of 2002 Jetta: safety and parking ease
Negatives: My vehicle doesn't have all of the safety features I would like. (I wish there were more airbags) It sometimes struggles to get to speed when I am entering the freeway. Positives: I do however like it's compact size which makes it easy to park.
John K

Excellent fuel economy, and exceptional performance and handling.
The Volkswagen Jetta has excellent fuel economy. Additionally the handling and performance exceeded expectations. The only downside is the vehicle's interior is not exactly designed for commuting, cup holders leave a lot to be desired.

My pride and joy. Good ride and good mileage for gas without the trouble.
I get about 32 miles per gallon fast quiet very safe. It holds 5 passengers. It has a sunroof top. Leather seats hatchet back with cover over trunk. Have had problems with exhaust in the pass. It is reliability. Do not wear out tires clean motor. Seats are removable to add more room for storage. It is easy to handle. Easy to park in small places. It do not show dirt to bad. I have had this car for ten years and I brought it used it is still in good condition. Air condition works good and heat also. I have really enjoyed this car.

While I like my car for its look and size, it is expensive to repair and not all parts are available anymore. The car is labor intensive in its care and parts. I love my car, but it is costly.
Cathleen C

It's awesome! I like that the cup holders stow away, so they don't catch a million crumbs. They are in the way, though, so if you need to adjust the radio and you have a cup in the holder, it is a little tricky.
I like that it has more room than my previous car and that the trunk is accessible from inside. After my first car, I had wanted a station wagon type car and this fit the bill perfectly.

My Jetta: The Bad and the Good
It has had a few things go wrong since I've had it, but I wish it gave me a little more of a warning when things were starting to go bad. One day the water pump just stopped, that was $800 to get fixed. Then the alternator went, then the battery, then the ignition switch. All without warning and all within 2 years of each other. I understand that my car is a little older but it's scary always wondering what's going to go next and when. It also doesn't have much leg room, I'm short so it doesn't bother me. It has a sunroof, which I love and it also can lift up just the back. Its manual transmission, another plus for me. I love it overall but it's slowly dying on me.
