I like the embroidered headrests.
So what's your plan for keeping this car relatively clean with it being outside all the time? Did you decide on a car port cover thing? |

Talk about modification of your new car. I don't like this. But, it won some award at a major car show this weekend.

Bought a '15 TDI Jetta two weeks ago brand new off the lot.
Change oil light has come on twice. First time was supposedly caused by the switch to pop the hood triggering the change oil light on a car that had only driven 300 miles. Took three days to wait for the part and get the fault fixed. 90 miles later, the change oil light triggers again. I feel like a ****ing moron right now for going through this whole process. Drove three different trailblazer variants and none of them had an electrical problem such as this. Mother**** this shit. |

Second, and while you can surely do what you want, it seems odd for someone who complains about what he makes, doesn't have a career and might be going back to school, to get a new car. |

Lucked into enough money recently to make such a deal and traded in last vehicle for $2000ish under KBB and NADA values and for only $250 less than the private sale I had somewhat lined up.

Before my wife and I got together, she had what was a 2 year old Jetta at the time and less than 30k miles on it. Her father is mechanically inclined and they had so many problems with that car that they didn't even keep it a year before they decided it was a hunk of shit and sold it. Too many stories from other Jetta owners like this exist. Not sure why you chose it? |

I'm not mad at that guy; I'm ****ing furious at myself because if I'm going to have everpresent issues with a car I could have bought a beater of a vehicle and had enough money to not worry about gasoline prices for a few years. |

I'd have saved some of that money into savings and gotten a nice used ride with good MPG instead. Plenty of reliable options out there that are still fun to drive but meet reliability/fuel economy. You really don't need to be driving brand new cars these days unless you like paying for that luxury and have the economic means to do so. |

I know a guy who has a Jetta tdi. Loves it, gets great gas mileage, runs good, always starts.
The only thing that works on the car is the drive train. Literally nothing else. No AC. Electrical, no radio, speedo, windows, nothing. He's an old country boy and has the drivers window where he can manually raise and lower. He's had the issues since it was under warranty intermittently. He said **** it at some point. He still kicks himself for being the good ole country boy who goin buy him one o them DIESEL CARS!!! |
