talk to me about the VW Jetta Veeky Forums
I'll be car shopping this weekend and I wanted to know if it's a good idea as a first car because there's a few in my price range in my area. I know they're in the sticky but that's only for a new second hand car purchase and need to know if the reliability issues are too much for a first time car buyer/owner.
Talk to me about the VW Jetta Veeky Forums

I would avoid them. They are famous for their unreliability.
My ex had one and used the trip meter to measure the distance between breakdowns, which btw, was never more than 700 miles.
James Stewart
Yeah and the golf is the exact same car which is famous for it's reliability.
Fuck off idiot
Leo Cruz
You'll be bombarded with "unreliable". They're not, they're picky about maintenance, like most VAG-vehicles.
Dylan Gray
What year? Mileage? Post a link
Kevin Mitchell
It's more of a girl / fag car than the Miata
the jetta is like a girl version of the civic or corolla
Julian Smith
Eli Baker
wut, 1.9TDI engines are unkillable
Ayden Fisher
Shit damage control mate
Nathan Mitchell
Im not even that guy, but it's the truth. It's such a prevalent thing in culture, more than Miatas being for fags. There are plenty of comedy bits in modern tv shows about girls and jettas. Jettas are for the spoiled bratty girls.
Asher Powell
These are all shit and would probably not treat you well.
Angel Collins
I'm not gonna get into this discussion because I'm from Europe and it's just a basic enonomy family car over here. My point was that the previous post is completely irrelevant to the thread. It was all about reliability up until this point.
Christopher Wood
I don't watch tv m8 but my jetta is pretty cool and I don't feel like it's girly or anything
I heard that in germany they are considered old people cars but who really gives a shit
Hudson Taylor
No it wasn't. This is a new point. Also yeah those cars you linked are junkers
>lives in europe
>instead of getting the awesome cars you guys have
>you get a jetta
Josiah Rodriguez
>instead of getting the awesome cars you guys have
aren't like 90% of cars in europe 1.0L shitboxes?
Christopher Sanders
Read the OP you brain dead cunt.
Austin Cruz
Not the American market versions. American market versions are known for unreliability.
Car in question was a 2.0L 8V.
Xavier Lee
Probably in the most cucked parts. It's mostly 1.9 and 2.5 diesels in my country though.
Luke Moore
The drivetrains are literally interchangeable. they are exactly the same underneath what the fuck are you talking about
Asher Jones
How does the OP change what I said
Lincoln Ross
DO NOT GET ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE VR6 ENGINE
VR6 OWNER HERE
Oliver Anderson
It proves that this thread indeed is about reliability and not about your insecurities.
Juan Johnson
>come to get schooled in some automotive knowledge
>stay for the show
Ian Anderson
except the American market cars were built in Mexico where the quality control buffoons were paid in chickens.
The European market versions aren't built in Mexico and are built to a much higher quality standard.
Aiden Wood
They're pieces of shit. You could get a kick ass Peugeot, you could get an awesome BMW and maintain it for cheap, you could go Japanese and get the highest trim cars that are reliable easy
Hunter Russell
Congratulations, you've made a somewhat relevant post to the theme of this thread. That's all I wanted from you.
Hudson Johnson
The mexican plant built pretty much all VWs for the US market you cockmunch. Most of the parts are the same and are made in germany
Ayden Ward
>an awesome BMW and maintain it for cheap
Noah Rogers
pic related my mexican jetta
James Butler
Way cheaper than America
You're a dumb kid, FF is shit
Cameron Butler
>Way cheaper than America
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't OP American?
Michael Morgan
>FF is shit
this isn't Tokyo Drift pal
Andrew Long
ff can drift though
Matthew Gomez
>2.0L 8V.
the 2.Slow is reliable as hell too summerfirend.
The electronics on the mk3 aned early mk4 has issues as VW switched many components from VDO to Bosch.
Girl car yeah, not a homo car at all. The Miata is the undisputed king of turd burglar rides
