I bought this car four years ago, and aside from being extremely fortunate to have bought a Certified pre-owned (read: two warranty that I used more than once), this car has been like any other car I've owned, in terms of repairs. I've read that some of them are lemons, and really, that's true of ANY make. The Jetta is a sharp looking car that I never get tired of admiring. It's fun to drive, the seats are super-comfy, and I love the leather interior. I'm short, so the car feels roomy enough for my liking, but I've heard that even tall people find the headroom in the Jetta surprising. The seats are on the firm side, which I actually like, particularly on longer drives.
