Overview & Reviews

For 2001, improved cloth and velour interior materials come standard in the GL and GLS trim. Side curtain airbags that offer head protection for front and rear passengers are introduced this year, and steering wheel controls for the audio and cruise systems are available on GLS/GLX trim models. Optional 17-inch wheels and a sport suspension can be had on GLX models and GLS models with the 1.8T or VR6 engine. The Wolfsburg Edition returns as a limited-edition model in early 2001 -- standard features include sport suspension, bolstered sport seats and 16-inch BBS wheels. All models get redesigned cupholders and a trunk entrapment release button. A wagon arrives in the spring of 2001.

• Solid build quality, rich interior materials, loads of features, available turbo and V6 engines.

• Cookie-cutter Euro-copy sheet metal, bigger standard-features list means bigger base price.

  Fun Card - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Sebastian - June 28 - 10:00 am

  I think that the new Jetta is a great car. It is a bit smaller than what i thought, and it is right now being one of the down sides, at least for me. But besides that, i believe it is a great car!

  The Bumper! - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta
  By left on the curb - June 28 - 10:00 am

  The bumper keeps getting stuck on curbs. I back out, the bumper doesnt. Its plastic, and the screws just tear right out. Dealership doesnt cover it. Annoying! But love it otherwise...

  Youll Love this Car!! - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta
  By elo - March 12 - 10:00 am

  This car has required nothing in the way of service other than a $90 temperature guage replacement, and it still drives feels like a new car. For the basic engine (I went with the bottom of the line 2.0L), it has much more pep than other vehicles in this class. Excellent torque and fast breaking make this a winner. The Moonsoon components are very good performers as stock audio equipment goes, with the exception of the included head unit, which underperform. Very comfortable and attractive interior with a high-quality European feel.

  Best Car for the Price - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Trykeman - January 3 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car after my last lease (99 Z24 Cavalier) expired. I have driven tonns of cars in the past and really researched the market before I bought this car. Drives and performs like a dream and so far (knock on the wood) "Kein Problem!". Highly recommended for anyone looking for serious value for the money.

  Problematic - but I still love it! - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta
  By mangonoggin - December 23 - 5:46 am

  Ive loved my Jetta GLS TDI ever since I bought it. Its such a sharp looker and you really cant beat the fuel efficiency (45+mpg). However, I have had a few of the minor problems mentioned here already (the windows, peeling interior surfaces, finicky CD player). That said, I still love the interior - its so clean and well designed - and the blue hue of the lights at night are so cool. The Jetta is certainly feature rich - but, I have certainly had problems with some of them. This car certainly could use some improvements in the electrical and interior department. Also, for those with the auto tranny, the shift lock mech. can be a pain - watch out for a faulty brake light switch.

  i got the car on a trade with my explorer. with a slight exhaust leak the car still pick up and gos pretty good I have only got it up to 120 but then I had to slow down. it handles the turns like it is on rails. I have only had it about 2 weeks now but on the high way I smoked a Honda civic with some mods like it was standing still

  Economy, Performance, and Style - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Lanark - November 28 - 10:00 am

  I absolutely love my TDI. It took a while to find one with a 5 speed, but it was worth the hunting. I cant believe this kind of pick-up from a standstill on a diesel. And naturally, unless youre in the market for a hybrid, you cant beat the mileage. Plus, even though the car is (comparatively) low-priced as far as German sedans go, it seems to be an eye- catcher, not to mention that there almost seems to be a TDI clique/club/cult? Comfortable and stylish interior for two adults (dont plan any road trips for four 6-footers) Only real complaint is: why doesnt VW give up on the dial knob for seatback adjustment that theyve been using ever since the (original) Beetle?

  Great car but still needs work - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta
  By jettanut - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Overall quite happy with the car comfort and handling super especially tight corners and turns the turbo makes it all worth driving and gas mileage is pretty good 600+ kms highway driving / tank bad things so far all four doors sqeak and required constant lubrication also striker pin adjusted weekly on front drivers door (creaks when car moving under 20 km/h)
