Volkswagen Jetta - 2002 Reviews

Bought a 2002 Jetta in 2001, drove it, loved it, planned on keeping it til the whole darn thing fell apart - then in 2004, I got hit head on by a small truck at which point I got spun around and broadsided by the car behind me. Jetta was compacted like a tin can from the outside, but inside the interior was completely protected! ALL the safety features kicked on just like they should and that car saved our lives!! I, the driver, walked away with two sprained knees and a broken finger and my husband, the passenger, only had bruises from the airbags and seatbelts! So when the insurance check… read full review »

I bought this car brand new in 2002 and have driven it everyday since. It is a great car for the price that I paid. It has all the amenities I was looking for - power windows and locks, sunroof, cruise control and good gas mileage. Two of the nice things about this car is that it has an extremely roomy trunk and the stock stero is so good that I did not have to replace it.

Ok, I'll admit I don't own a 2002. I own a 1998 VW Jetta in green, and I LOVE IT! It has over 130,000 miles on it and has cost me very little in maintenance.

I don't know why I feel such a connection with other VW owners, but I just do. —… read full review »

I have had my Jetta for 2 years and it has travled alot with me but it isn't the most reliable thing.  I don't give VW any bad reviews but that they are very expensive with parts and labor.  Jetta's are good first cars and they are great for college… read full review »

While I did not buy this car (inherited it), I would have been very happy with it if I had.  This is a great car for anyone.  Good for city living with its moderate size but sufficient storage space.  Good mileage.  No maintenance… read full review »
