 The Jetta is an interesting car in the beginning when you get it and step on the gas and let out the clutch it feels good you want to drive it.  However as you begin life's journey with the vehicles things start to break such as the back rotors which wear out every 40,000 miles because of a "design flaw" the window cable, not the motor, fray because of a "design flaw", the O2 sensor fails because of a "design flaw". Bottom line the entire car is a design flaw and is made with cheap parts which snap together in some instances.  Don't be fooled by its good looks, these cars are money pits.  Why do people still own them?  Most likely they owe more than what the car is worth and are just trying to get by.
