My Choice

My Volkswagon Jetta has been an excellent car. I have been very happy and satisfied with the performance and reliability of this car.
My Jetta was purchased in 2001 by my parents and was given to me when I began driving. I was very happy to get the car and I've enjoyed it ever since. I was first drawn to the car because it is a manual. Learning the manual on the car was surprisingly easy and extremely smooth. The transmissions used by Volksagon are excellent and operate well and reliable. I have driven manual cars of different brands such as Honda and Jeep and was disappointed as to how poorly they compare to my Jetta.
My car has also been extremely reliable. On average my car needs minor maintenance two times at the most annually. I have been impressed because most of my friends do not have the same lxury as I do concerning maintenance. The Jetta drives extremely well and the turning is always smooth. The car's engine does not operate as powerfully as it once did but then again it is 9 years old with 140,000 miles.
Jetta's do have somewhat of a downfall concerning price. The maintenance, although it is rarely needed, is quite expensive. The price to replace most parts on the Jetta costs the same as it would for a Mercedes or a BMW. It is quite disappointing that maintenance is that hefty, but with it rarely needed and the quality of the car it is easily overlooked.
As a whole a Volkswagon, specifically a Jetta, is a perfect car. It performs excellently and is very reliable.
