hey guys im getting rid of my 96' altima and iv been looking at some different jettas. iv found a good deal on a 2000 vr6 and up until now iv heard nothing but good about jettas in general. i was looking through some reviews and iv found endless amounts of people who all ay the same thing. "the car is a lemon". lots of people said that the O2 sencors were going bad every 40000kms, brake light failure, lots of mention about windows breaking, etc...
i understaind that you will find more bad reviews than good of any car because the people who like thier cars dont generaly go out of thier way to post it as much as people who have had real problems. however the bad reviews seem to be endless. i would be greatful for anyone with first hand experience with this car who can fill me in a bit.

There are 3 jettas in my garage right now a '95 '03 '04 and none of them have had any probs with them like windows breaking the regs went out on the 95 but its a 95 any cars would at that point lol. The newer ones have been only maint with one recal on a door lock that the dealership fixed on one of the cars '03.

are you sure your not talking about a 1.8t car, becuase i dont hear anything bad about vr6's, but i see more 1.8t's in the shop getting new motors all the time, and only time i see a vr6 is if someone is stupid and broke it, or its getting maintance done.

oh and the comment about the o2 sensors going out every 40000kms. that would be about the time i would replace them anyways, always good to keep up the maintance on something

The thing about the windows breaking is a recall issue anyways there are some locking mechanism and a latch thing that have to be replaced dealership does it in no time for no charge.

I currently am driving a 96 Honda Accord V6 and have the option of trading it straight across for a 2000 Jetta VR6 with 93,000 miles.

My question is, what kind of maintenance may I be expecting at this millage? The dealership says that the vehicle has passed a 32 point inspection (whatever that means)

i just bought a 2000 jetta vr6, i got it for 6600 and it has 105000 miles on it. it needed some polish but so far im loving it. when i was looking for something to buy, i did quite a bit of research, and found that the vr6 is fairly reliable mechanically.
