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.

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!

What a great car. That 5 cylinder note it's just awesome.

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 !!

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

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?

Jake how much did the dealer give you for the Jetta? How many miles did it have? Thank you.

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

@jakeman what u sell it for

How much did you get for it?

Btw what's going on with the radio

I like that chrome accent on the windows. I got the Wolfsburg and it doesn’t have that trim

great review 👌

One thing I will like to know can you change your introment panel with out having to code it over

just bought one of these yesterday, nice little car.

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!

Whats the mpg bro?

I took a shot every time he said "my dad". I am now dead. RIP

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

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.

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!

What were the costly repairs on the Jetta?

I have the same car 151,000 miles the transmission shifts a pretty rough but still going strong... i think

Baba Booey, Hit 'em with the Hein Howard 101 on the radio.

I’m looking at one ☝️ do u think it’s still a good car? Does it matter about miles ?

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

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.

7:40 Your dad is a G, I also keep a similarly sized piece of mcm 500 cable in my 09 jetta

great video when are we going to get to see your dads new car

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.

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?

what car is your dad getting

I bought it in carmax Virginia Beach

2 Hrs to remove an engine cover? lol

Never show you Tag !!!

Wish me luck everyone, if i die say to my future baby i love her,

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.

Too wordy
