I bought the Jetta brand new and for the last 10 years it has been a very reliable car that has been inexpensive to drive and other than some large typical repairs at about 180,000km it has cost very little to mainain. It is really nice to drive - very solid and feels safe. My Jetta didn't have the turbo engine and although it had lots of speed it didn't have the pick up that the Turbo does. I had to replace many bulbs over the 10 years - brake lights, running lights, head lights etc. This was an on-going issue but in reality it was very cheap to buy new bulbs and wasn't really a big deal. Overall - I would hight recommend this vehicle.
