  • Absolutely not! - 1998 Volkswagen Jetta
    By -

    So I bought my nice 1998 jetta in 2008 for a graduation present to myself. Granted the car was 10 years old and I did get it for a deal (sort of)...IT stinks! so far since Ive had it (less than a year) Ive had to replace the wheel bearings 3 separate times because theyve broken while I was driving and Ive also done the breaks and rotors twice. On top of that I had to replace the exhaust, all the window motors are messed up, my automatic door locks dont work, the window cable broke, my 02 sensor failed, my cruise control doesnt work, the wiring causes shorts in the lighting and sensors, and my side panels had to be reglued in place. All of this at 120,000 miles? I miss my dodge stratus!
