kinda funny b/c my sister owns a 99 jetta and something is always wrong with it. they can't get the power windows to work for more than a month. always breakin or sometime they have a mind of their own. she has had the worst experiences from the dealerships she has taken it to have warrenty work done. they blame her for parts breaking when we know it's the cheap way they are built and i know of a freind when she drives her car it will randomly shut off. she took it to the dealer 5 times and they say the car is fine. they test drove it and everything for 500 miles.(so they say).
save yourself some agony and go with toyota or honda
