2000 Volkswagen Jetta Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The acceleration is decent, braking is really good, interior could use some work like the back cupholders aren't very functional. The front window clips have broken and need to be replaced. Great car until about 100,000 miles, then you need to get some things replaced on it. Nothing major, no mechanical issues whatsoever. Great car

You take good care of the car & the car will take care of U! Lots of fun to drive especially because of the manual trasmition: you are in charge, having full control on your gas millage & acceleration capabilities! Average gas millage is 22 miles per gallon in town & 33 miles on the interstate, pretty good for a V6 ;)

good on gas...leather,Premium sound system,it has the cold weather package. alloy wheels, 5 Speed, sunroof, it is dark blue, this car is fun to drive i guess but its only a 4 cyl so its not fast

I love this car it is the most reliable car Ive had much better than the Nissans i had with their outrageous priced parts.I feel it looks much better than the new mkv jetta an it has to be one of the easiest cars to modify.

Peppy little 2 litre motor, looks classic, build quality is quite good on outside, a bit of noise from old trim on inside. Great on gas, costs nothing to maintain, runs like a dream. Would definitely recommend this car to any student.

Good well built car. Parts last quite a while but are expensive to replace when broken. Not alot of power from the factory but with upgraded injector nozzels it drives great. Awesome car for a base plateform to build power

The Jetta GLX is a car that is missing in todays VW line up. GLX= LOADED. Rain sensing wipers, auto up and down windows, auto sun roof, great Monsoon 8 speaker sound system that rivals any bose available in a car from 2000.

Comfortable, handles well, lots of torque, not a ton of hp

I liked this car so much I bought another one. It is a great driving car and comfortable on the road. The back seats are good for small children but would be a little tight for teans and young adults.

Love love my Jetta... Had a few minor problems with the electric system, had to replace some spark plugs and needed to change my struts bt other than that everything is great.It almost makes traffic fun. Very fast and the brakes has nice handling. I fun that my V6 and turbo only use alot of gas but when im like racing or something. overall great!

Amizing amounts of torque and power with little modification. Some clear coat peeling on front grill and hood. Even with more than 200 horse power still gets about 30 miles per gallon of gas. Car interior is immaculate for being 9 years old

my vdub looks good i get alot of comments in it. its fast it handles good and for the two years that i have owned it, i have had no problems. jettas in my opinion are the best cars on the road.

this was my first car that i got and i love it and would not trade it in...handles great and good performance wise..recommend to everyone. lots of parts to be found on ebay and easy to do yourself. love driving the car and use it on the track

Vr6 is a great engine. lots power whenever you want it. be prepared to replace water pump and timing chain after 100k miles though... and body style is pretty sexy too. lots of fun to drive.

great car for an everyday driver or someone looking for some kick to their ride. Even simply being a 2.0L 115 HP engine, it still give a good amount of kick hen the pedal is pressed. The 1.8T engine is perferred, but also a higher base price. but roughly receiving 25 MPG city and 30 MPG highway, and German engineering and reliability, its great for anyone looking for a good time without burning too much of a hole in their wallet.

volkswagen jetta gls is a strong mostly reliable you only need to do brake change if you are a rough driver like me, but generally vw jetta is better than most american cars mostly like chevy and its affordable and portable

Its my first car and i absolutely love it to death, lots of power, very reliable, looks good. Its pretty average on gas, i get up to 450 km on a tank which isn't bad, but could be better. I strongly suggest it to all other people thinking about getting one.

All TDI owners know what you buy a TDI for: Fuel Economy. With the cost of fuel continually increasing, the TDI is a great way to beat the price of fuel. The TDI gets anywhere from 40-50 MPG depending on transmission choice, how you drive it and if the car is in need of service. The interior is adequate for a small car, though the backseat is cramped. There is plenty of trunk space and a decent audio system. The engine has plenty of low end torque, but the power tends to top off after 3000-4000 RPM not gaining much. 5 Speed manual recommended.

400,000 kms, 4.9 L per 100 k's. Chipped and nozzled, 130 hp at the wheels. My favorite highway ride of all time. And yup, its fun to drive. Cost of timing belts is a lot if you don't do the work yourself.

it's a fairly quick car that is fun to drive and also practical. With new rims and tires it handles much better than you would expect a four door saloon to handle. The only problems are with some of the materials being used on the interior coming apart

this was one of the best cars i owned, loved to race it, hate that i wrecked it with all the engine work i did

Diesel engine is awsome and barely audible, never missed a start even in the worst weather canadian climate could throw at it. Some parts are somewhat shaky thus, but build construction is terrific ! Feels like a much higher priced car than it is. I was most skeptic about VW and used to swear I'd never own one of those... I was never that much surprised by a car. Only problem is the constant appearance of the check engine light because of very badly designed anti-pollution systems which clog up intake pipes and crass sensors.

put it this way no matter what i dislike about the car it makes up for it in five other ways the car tells its oun story to each ouner i just think my jetta has been the best experience to me so far with a project car. DONT knock till you try.

I had some issues with it and eventually had to get rid of it, but it was a great car and i miss it very much. If you get a VW, you have to be ready to deal with people not knowing how to work on it or not willing to.

it doesnt have much power because my model is the 2L 115hp engine, but it still feels quick and responsive. has power windows and locks, heated seats and a/c. the dashboard lights look killer. id say its a great first car

4 the best time ever,find some roads like coming down Mt. Washington, and add some straights like New England Dragway! Who needs a turbo when you have the VR6 engine, 0 to sixty in 4.8 seconds, stops on a dime and leaves you change!

good acceleration. good handling. some squeaks some rattles. average gas milage. not to much maintenance for 100,000 miles. i drive a manual and love it. this car is very fun to drive. nice rims for stock and i like the sunroof. could use a better stereo thats why i replaced it.

Overall I love this car, however I do wish I would have sprung for the 1.8T or the VR6. With a miserly 115 hp this is not a performance car. I do like the pick-up it has in the 65-80 mph range. It's the 0-60 pick-up I wish I had more of. The interior is roomy enough and decently laid out. I don't like the Soft-Touch interior, it is rubbing off. The 2.0L engine "used" oil (1 qt per 100 miles) which was enough to ruin my engine over the first couple years I owned it. I had new rings put in to solve the problem, no more used oil...oh, and switched to synthetic at about 100K miles. Gas mileage is adequate, about 28-30 mpg highway. Which is nice because the cost of repairs seems to be slightly higher than other cars.

Great power but plagued with problems from the start. Had many issues with ABS, ASR, steering rack, transaxle and windows. Love the car but the maintenance problems gave me second thoughts about buying another. My GTI on the other hand had no issues over four years that I've owned it.

the car handles great rides smooth . breaking is great with the 4 wheel disc. its great to work on has alot of space under the hood interiod looks great with all the chrome. and the 2.0 motor is bullet proof

Great car overall. Fast, nice body style, easy to customize. Nice interior!

Pretty good-looking car, I loved the blue and orange instrument lights. Pretty peppy for a small engine, overall fun to drive but fairly unreliable.

Runs great, but electrical problems such as light fixtures are a severe problem and I see that I'm not the only one. I see these cars on the road with at least one external light out all the time. Other than that and besides the turbo having a second and half delay (as all do - only Porsche has perfected turbo charged systems), it's a nice city car.

It really performed way better than i ever thought that it could. it did ride and drive really well until i lost a bump stop.that sucked. now it takes bumps really poorly.it is still really fun to drive though.

Excellent car, but the A/T is too bad.

Its very fun to drive, gas miliage is very good for a v6, 400km to the tank. Need regular maintenance otherwise can get very expensive. Has a few quirks but what car dosent. Has an absolutely beatuful sound to it.

Most dislikes of it is the cost of everything for it, The performance is what i love the most on it and it runs like a champ, love the way it drives, no one believes it has what it has.

Loved the car....would still be driving it if the timing belt didn't snap causing the engine to destroy itself.

2.0 lacks power but hey its a 2.0 not a 1.8t

Sound System after market 2X12'' subs and aftermarket Ram Air intake. The Car is awesome because it has a 5 speed transmission which is a riot to drive. Also the back seat is just big enough to have fun in if you need a place. downside the car is small for long trips for more than 2 people.
