Gosh, really? We have a two year old Jetta that we absolutely love.
It's been no trouble at all other than routine oil changes and the
like, unless you count the windshield replacement when a truck threw a
rock at us. =( That we did have to pay out of pocket to the tune of
$400 bucks, but I can't blame it on VW. I'd buy another one with no
qualms whatsoever.
