Summary:
I really loved this car when I did not have to take it in to the shop every other month! I was continuously repairing the car. I had to change the brake sensor 3 times, the rack and pin, air compressor, and many little computer things.

Strengths:
It is a cute little car

Weaknesses:
Hard to find parts for this car and nothing is cheap. Be prepared to be putting money into the car constantly

2006 Jetta TDI with DSG

Summary:
This is the best car I have owned in a long while. Fabulous diesel engine coupled to an outstanding DSG transmission. New independent rear suspension is a great improvement over the 2005 model. Large trunk and plenty of space inside the cabin. I have cloth seats which are very comfortable even after long trips - seats are well shaped. Steering wheel, controls and finish are excellent with everything in the right place. VW really listened to the complaints of the previous model. Would definitely buy again.

Strengths:
Fuel economy. Pleasing to drive with torquey engine. Smooth, quiet ride. Excellent suspension control.

Weaknesses:
Plastic pieces tend to rattle at certain temperatures.

2007 Jetta Base Model

Summary:
The car rocks. The price was awesome. I have the 5 speed manual and with 2000 miles it gets better everyday. It looks SO MUCH MORE expensive then it is.

I will update at about 10000 miles!

Strengths:
70mph, 5th gear at 3000RPM I am just starting to hit peak torque!

Weaknesses:
Car wants to speed and thus easy to burn extra petrol.

Summary:
Eletrical problems from 6500 miles on. Not a consumer friendly auto. Try going to a local parts store for oil and/or filter. Been in for warranty work many times and problems still abound.

Strengths:
Looks and mileage are great.

Weaknesses:
Quality, Service departments, Electrical problems, multi function display
