Great real world review. Thanks for sharing your day to day long term experience with your Dads' Jetta. Looking at buying a 2005 to 2008 for my son for his first car.
Doug F did you ever buy one?
I’m going to be buying one
This was a good review man thanks !! I just came from another video which the title says “JETTA REVIEW” and the guy is a seller man that he only was describing the piece of crap that he was trying to sell, u did good !!
I seen that before watching this lol
What a great car. That 5 cylinder note it's just awesome.
I enjoyed your review my friend! Even tho Some ppl would say it’s long. quite frankly I like that you detail the ins and outs of the whole car Kudos to you! Thanks for a very informative video....bought a third car as a spare which is a 07 MkV Jetta! Huge German VW Fan! Have a A4 as my Vehicle and wifey drives a Q5! Jetta as a third car makes a sweet trio not to mention they are all black!! Thanks again!
my dad bought a 06 jetts for 198 bucks. the lady who drove it rear ended a truck i put a rediatior support bent the hood down and got new headlights and the things looks nice again. has 171k miles and since my dad was the mechanic that worked on it since the lady bought it with i think 80k on it he knows its been a reliable car and has been maintained very well
Nate Eller LoL the same thing happened to me. I rear ended a truck that decided to stop in the middle of the road and I had to replace the support, headlights, etc etc but it looks almost normal again I just have to find the grille
just bought one of these yesterday, nice little car.
HudsonsBlu I bet it won't crank now
im just trying to get to class, man
699,875,997 Views mine cranks fine at 230k lmao
I’m looking at one for my first car
@@NOTQUITLIKEKK holy shit. I forgot about this comment. I still have my Jetta eight years later-I love her to death
I took a shot every time he said "my dad". I am now dead. RIP
I'm thinking of purchasing However I do have a few questions. How smooth does this car go over bumps? Does the air conditioner release a weird smell since it's older? Is the a charging station/dock and does the car have bluetooth/aux available?
Your dad doesn't drive a lot! My dad has 275,000 miles on his 2008 Toyota Tacoma. He bought it with 30k on it and drives 50k per year!
is it still running?
ZNormT6 God dam 50 k a year!?
I have the same car 151,000 miles the transmission shifts a pretty rough but still going strong... i think
Same problem, do you know why though ? Or what the exact problem is?
@@Joshvn the valve bodies go out on these. Mine has 281k and it’s about due for another trans
One thing I will like to know can you change your introment panel with out having to code it over
I’m looking at one ☝️ do u think it’s still a good car? Does it matter about miles ?
If you found one of these that’s still alive do not buy it. You might as well buy an old S class or something because it’s going to be the same amount of maintenance. All of the Volkswagens my family owned treated us terribly.
Oh man that doesn’t sound good I have been doing my research and I think I’ll be going to carmax for my first car it’s more reliable I think also what do u think about a VW Passat 2015 81k miles ?
I love this gen Jetta. However, I could not deal with light bulbs continuously burning out, high repair bills and just the overall high maintenance of the car no matter how much I love it. Some good friends of mine have a 2002 Passat wagon 1.8t gls and it's such a piece of junk. I know that mk4 Volkswagens are known for being problematic but it's just so bad. It has 191k and you have to turn it over a couple of times for it to start. The sunroof has the typical electrical problem these all have where it goes back and fourth.You have to put your foot into it just to get it to move because it takes off so slow. The a/c doesn't work. Headlights are always burning out. The heated seats don't work. Then the water pump went out and it cost $1000 to replace it with parts and labor. Meanwhile my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES has 285k and it's still rolling and runs and drives great. I've heard worse stories about mk4 Volkswagens Though. I love Volkswagens but it would be stressful owning one.
+Billy William Honestly this car held up pretty well considering how hard of a life it had. I'm more of a Japanese car person but Volkswagen does build SOME solid cars. My mom's 2007 Rabbit hasn't had any major problems or ever left us stranded in the 90k we have owned it. The vehicle that replaced this is another Volkswagen and thankfully it had a 4 year/48K mile warranty.
Do u think these cars are good for a first car !
I use the same car, I washed the engine and the steering wheel doesn't return to the center anymore when driving. I don't know why
How much did you pay for the vacuum pump? My 07 Vw Jetta will need it soon it started to leak. I also need new control arms. Best car ever though!
+J.C. C. I think it was close to $1000 the first time we had it replaced....most shops will tell you the transmission needs to be dropped to replace it. We recently traded this car in on a Tiguan.
Thanks!
Jake how much did the dealer give you for the Jetta? How many miles did it have?
Thank you.
great review 👌
How much did you get for it?
Whats the mpg bro?
I like that chrome accent on the windows. I got the Wolfsburg and it doesn’t have that trim
My dad had a Golf 5 Variant (Wagon) in the same colour i loved that car so much nice memories the has 2 Names allot people say Jetta Wagon cz it look the same as the jetta what u had/have and allot people (in germany) say Golf 5 Variant
What were the costly repairs on the Jetta?
For mine; headliner replacement, window motor, and oil pump. 800, 1200, and 2100 dollars US respectively
First of all, I love the way you get the car around get a couple of
LR a good part of camel tropgy happend over my old daddys farm or finca might you say part of camel tropgy a couple of décadas ago give it a try
7:40 Your dad is a G, I also keep a similarly sized piece of mcm 500 cable in my 09 jetta
@jakeman what u sell it for
Btw what's going on with the radio
Baba Booey, Hit 'em with the Hein Howard 101 on the radio.
This car rarely left that channel lol.
My 2006 Jetta had a lot of problems, headliner peeling off, headlights fog every 6 months, lightbulbs front and rear had to be changed every couple of months, a/c stop working, vacuum pump leaked, a/c fan stop working, windows switch peeled, transmission computer failed, etc.
+E “GymRatt” Bentz We had every single one of those issues with this car other than the window switch and transmission computer.
Tips for burnt bulbs on the 2006 Jetta TDI.... I've Owned one now for eight years and the best way to avoid changing light bulbs is buy them from the VW dealer trust me I've changed all mine once in eight years. For some reason aftermarket bulbs and Volkswagens don't mix. lol My trunk lid has a key hole next to the licence plate so, I'm not sure why yours doesn't?
Classic Volkswagen decontenting. They removed the small things as the years went on. The 2005-2006 were generally better equipped.
I bought it in carmax Virginia Beach
When it's not even there haha
+Carson Maillet CarMax - Car Dealers - 3801 Bonney Road - Virginia Beach, VA ...
+E “GymRatt” Bentz it's at Volvo of Richmond.
+Carson Maillet oh my god he's not talking about this EXACT car he's talking about his Jetta that he bought from carmax
+Jakeman21642 thx, at least you understand my point.
great video when are we going to get to see your dads new car
Does it have a audio jack I have a 2007 base model black interior etc and it had a audio jack in it. but else then the past month with the power door locks not working very well still I got mine used and still to this day it is amazing for being 10 years old! Just love it sooo much.
Joey Finley audio jack is in the glove department
what car is your dad getting
+Jaspreet Singh Already posted pictures of it on my channel's facebook page and my instagram!
you're using halogen headlights as a selling point? really? noobits LED, HID, or (classic) halogen. Get a gripBTW. Its not a compact its a midsized.
The Jetta is for a sure a compact car....very obvious when its parked next to my Accord which is actually a midsized car. Also I'll pass on blinding everyone on the road and not passing state inspections with some rice junk headlights.
the only vehicles that need led's are trucks like my sister's Raptor
2 Hrs to remove an engine cover? lol
No
Never show you Tag !!!
Wish me luck everyone, if i die say to my future baby i love her,
did you die?
Angel bring some water, it’s hot down here in *Hell*
Too wordy
