2006-08 VW Jetta: who has one/knows someone who has one?

[eddymerckx]

details, pls

the do not stand behind the cars--they look for every single loophole to avoid warranty coverage. Also, you can buy windshield wipers for a bently in th eauto parts storem but not for a 2004 passat. not to mention they only gave exstended warraties to the cars w/oil sludge issues after the DPSC threatened a mandatory recall.

I have a 2007 GTI, same car as a Jetta with a hatch instead of a trunk. No trouble at all in its first fourteen months, knock on wood. Fuel economy is "not too great" though. In today's climate I might be more inclined to go with a Honda.

Found a picture of it in front of my building on Google Maps:

Most people forget that the newer VW's are built in a joint deal with Audi.

Uh, they're the same company, and have been since 1969.

i think im off german cars for a while... i recently got rid of my C-230 mercedes...it was great for like the first 2 years then went to shit and had all kinds of maitenance problems...they rape you with all the servicing charges and the parts are expensive as hell too...i think they said they charge 85 bucks or something just to hook it up to this machine just to find out why the check engine light is on... i recently just got a ford...i used to own an explorer before the mercedes and the maitenance was so much cheaper
