if the car is in decent shape though and you keep up with the routine stuff you shouldn't have any major issues with a jetta. the gls anyway. i don't know anything about the tdi..you'll have to talk to chuck. the gls is slow though...that's why i got rid of mine....haha
chuck says you'll want to check what engine the GLS has in it.
the 2.0 are slow. (what liz had for her jetta, and what my cabrio was)
i have also had a 1.8t (turbo) jetta, which is what liz has now in her GTI. they are alot quicker. There is also the Vr6 (V6) but they tend to run a little more than the 1.8T's.
But as far as cost of repairs, vw's are a little higher than most cars. not sure comparitively to other imports from other regions.
TDI's Chuck doesnt even know much about, i know they get better gas mileage, but with prices the way they are diesel costs more than premium. and fyi though for vw if you do get a 1.8T or VR6 your "supposed" to run premium gas.
the white one i had was a 1.8 and it was a 2001. tesha just paid 13 for her 2002 passat, so maybe you could look into one of those too? i mean i don't think you have to just get the jetta.
i have to stay under like 9k out the door. so with taxes that puts me at like 8500 for the actual cost of the car. whats fucking pissing me off is im finding 00 maximas for like 8999 and my moms like, 'thats too high. or at least i would go for it, but your father says otherwise' grrrr

if you like the jetta, look for a 1.8t one.
