 The 09 TDI Jetta was the worst car I've ever owned. At 67,000 miles it fell into the exhaust manifold warranty and VW put an entire new system in my car at a value of $8,000.  At 78,000 miles the ABS system went out, AC stopped working, Exhaust system failed again, and transmission was slipping.  It needed $8,000 in repairs to keep running and was only worth that much for a trade in.  I prayed for months that someone hit me so I could dump this car as the trade in value was only $500 bucks with all it needed. I'm severely disappointed in VW.  This car cost $23k to purchase and within 4 and 5 years it needed $17,000 in repairs to maintain it barely running. Stay away from this vehicle!
