Volkswagen Jetta - 2002 Review

When we moved to Denver from out in the country we no longer needed two four whell drive pickups so we got rid of our GMC gas pickup and kept the Dodge Diesel beciase it was bigger and got better mileage.  we traded our GMC for a 2002 Jetta GLS TDI.  The little 1.9 liter Turbo Diesel Jetta has been a great little car and we love it.  It is comfortable for the two of us and two in the back seat.  It has plenty of power and has no problems keeping up with or merging with traffic.  In fact out on the Interstate you really had better set the druise control or you will be speeding.  I eventually got rid of my Dodge after driving it 400,000+ miles.  Big Mistake but that is another story.  Bought my wife a Diesel Beetle and I use the Jetta for my work car.  It has almost 90,000 miles on it now and I get 45-50 miles per gallon on the road.

 It has all the things that you need.  Power windows, remote keyless entry, CD player with AM/FM radio, sunroof, and remote trunk unlock.  The only problem I have had with it is the turbo went out at 57,000 miles but with a 60,000 mile warranty VW replaced it.  It has been a good car and goes good in the snow and icy roads.
