They are not reliable and are very expensive to fix. It is a shame that they have such problems, as they are well designed and engineered. Reliability has slipped to near the bottom of recent Consumer Reports surveys. Parts are relatively scarce and expensive, as are repairs in general. Special tools and hardware/software are needed, and a lot of small shops do not have them. That means the dealer. This car will spend a good deal of time there.
Look elsewhere for a smaller sports sedan.
Acura RSX
Honda Accord EX
Nissan Maxima
Mazda6 S (close call, reliability has only recently improved)
Nissan Altima V6
Lexus IS300
Infiniti G35

If you're buying a certified VW from a dealership, they have one of the best warranties.
Helped my sister-in-law purchase a 1999 VW Jetta, and have had some major problems with it, however the certified warranty covered all repairs, and they have honored all the repairs at no cost.
Problems we have had include:
1. Tranmission slipping.
2. A/C compressor going out.
3. Electrical problem with the cigarette lighter not working.
All fixed by them under warranty.

Jettas are great cars and can last a really long time (read 200k miles) if they are well maintained. If you're buying this car from a private party Id have a mechanic check it out before you make your decision but if you're buying from a reputable dealership Id feel comfortable making the purchase. Good luck and enjoy you're VW!

reliable or not.....expensive cars to fix!!!!
Girlfriend bought a used VW Passat she had problems with it. I couldn't take it anywhere any dealer b/c they had the special tools for it. Even to get a oil change they charge over $100.00. Dont' get me wrong nice looking car, but would never buy VW again
5 months later convinced her to get a Toyota 4Runner....been happy since then
