I always see alot of jettas dirt cheap with alot of miles, how are they? Looking for a fun economic commuter with manual and this seems good. What years or trims should I look out for? I'll be getting a clean one with low miles

My big fat buddy, my other big fat buddy, and I. A big fatty. Rode in a 1.8T jetta.
It was quick, had some mods. Id suggest one of those.

They're nice cars to drive and certainly more fun than a base model civic or corolla but I would avoid the cheaper ones because they tend to be neglected by their owners and they can be nightmares to own if you don't keep up with their scheduled maintenance

I have a 2004 Jetta TDI and it is legitimately the most reliable car I've ever owned, I got it for $2000 with 160,000 miles, it's gets 45mpg and has 5 speed manual, and tons of interior space, I was going to trade it in but it's been so good to me I just upgraded the interior and radio
If you suck at working on cars I would avoid 1.8t and vr6 motors and go for a standard 2.0 non turbo or the TDI.

A base model Jetta is the least fun car I have ever driven. Well, about on par with a Honda Element.
Slow as fuck with an anemic 4 cylinder and a 4 speed automatic. Open diff fwd. Heavy 4 door. Corners like an old Cadilac. What part of that is fun to you?

What exactly is the difference between VW Bora, Jetta and Passat models? They seem to share the same body and probably 99% of parts.
Anyway assuming they all are basically the same I have driven my co-worker's VW Bora (baseline one with a 1.6 petrol engine and manual transmission) few times, it seems to be a decent daily driver and to my knowledge hasn't had any problems so it seems to be pretty reliable as well.

The usual general shit, make sure it was cared for and wasn't some 16 year old girl's first car. Manual transmission would be a good idea, both for excluding the aforementioned use and being nicer to drive in general.
Mk3 (1992-1999) supposedly didn't have very good rustproofing.
Mk1 and Mk2 are much simpler cars, though obviously they're older now and need a bit of care to keep running.

Yeah, the VW diesels tend to be pretty good. Shame that they had to abandon that market.
Jetta and Bora are the same thing, different nameplates in different markets. They're also pretty much just a sedan version of the Golf.
Passat is a slightly larger sedan (midsize as opposed to compact).

Definitely considering one for my first car.

Don't fucking do it. Its automatic they were known for problems. The owner obviously wasn't well-off either.
