Volkswagen Jetta - 2006 —
The looks of the then new model of the Jetta really caught my attention. The 5 cylinder engine was new to me, and I thought it was a good idea. The 5 cylinder engine didn't give the car the spunk it needed to get going. They faired better with the 4 cylinder 1.8 liter turbo in the previous years models. I was dissappointed with the loud start up that I had in the 2001 Jetta and was suprised to see that they didnt change it with the 2006 model. I was always embarrased to start my car in front of people because of it. Looks are great, but you need performance too.
