#1
Love the Jetta - Hate the electronics
Source: Edmunds

...Car is a pleasure to drive. Love the mileage (43-60mpg between 75 and down to 55 respectively).
Carries a ton for a small car. Even gets great mileage with luggage stored on top.
No power train issues ever. JettaSportWagon is 20 months old now with 30k miles.
Lock system just went wacky. Dealer can't even figure out why some locks lock sometimes and others at other times.
Completely random behavior. Changed lock control module.
No luck. Now dealer is calling in expert from somewhere else. In first two months had similar electronic hiccup with ATC system. Wish the...

My beautiful blue Jetta!
Source: MSN Autos

...And when I need a boost in power, the "sports mode" works like a charm. It's a wonderful car. I love my Jetta wagon! Cons: The only thing that I would have liked to see in this car is a little bit larger glove box and a small area for storage between the seats as in the more expensive Jetta wagons. I know you can't have everything in an entry level car, but I really did receive a great deal with mine. Not too much to dislike at all. Overall: I would highly recommend this car. After having had a '72 VW Bug for 26 years and an '88 Chevy Blazer for 12 years, this is the answer to both...

#10
Boring but high mileage
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Great mileage. Fairly spacious. Safe. Cons: Boring as heck to drive.
Very low front clearance. Clunky gearshifts. Overall: If you get one made in Germany, probably reliable, and definitely low fuel consumption.
Good choice for spacious family transport if you don't care that it's so boring to drive...
