Are Volkswagen Jettas a good buy?

Question 1
Are Volkswagen Jettas a good buy?...  My mother is looking at a Volkswagen jetta sport 2011 , or a honda civic.. she wants a manual,, she is really into the VW but she isnt sure how good they are maintenance wise, she doesnt want to get something that will be in the shop every weekend.. what do you think? anybody have a jetta ? what are they like for finding parts and such?

Answers
1)   They're actually very good cars, the late 90's and early 2000's saw a lot of Volkswagens with quite a few problems, but once VW rolled out he MK5 platform (around 2005) they had just about everything sorted out. They're very good cars, she won't be disappointed. - Red

2)   I own a Volks Wagen Jetta and its a very good buy! It will stay with you for a long while, Its fast, its very handleable, very easy to manage, and pretty good looking. You wont have any problems with the car, i guarantee from experience. Its worth every cent of the money. Also, the seats are very comfortable, and the air conditioner is very fast cooling. :) hope this helps - coolmegz

3)   Jettas are some of the most reliable cars out there. Once you get one, and if you're good about maintenance, they just won't quit. I've got a friend with a 2004 who's got over 100K on his Jetta and that little thing just won't quit. I will drive VW's for the rest of my life. She has to understand, though that once she enters the VW family, she will have a very hard time leaving. VW's are for life =] - Paige G

3)   Many of these insurance companies are always ripping you off at every chance they get. I had ONE accident in which the damage was smaller than the deductible, so I for it myself. But when I had to renew my policy, they charged me extra. It's absolutely rediculous. I had to change, luckily, I found this info here: http://www.yoursaveinsuranceconnect.tk and was able to quickly find the lowest rate currently with the same policy. I think I dropped my rate by around $180 - Clarice Cuadras

Question 5
Do the old 1960's VW bugs have air conditioning?...  

Answers
1)   It was an option. But very few had it.......................&&& - **Uncle Jed Sez**

2)   If my memory is correct (no promises on that), it was a dealer installed option during the 1960's, with a couple of different companies making kits for the vehicle. I think DPD air, Fridgeking and Texas Air were the biggest and best known of the companies making kits for them. They worked, but, drained off horsepower off a already overworked motor and made them prone to overheating. I think VW didn't offer factory air on the Beetle until the early 1970's. DPD and Fridgeking are long gone and I think Texas Air is no longer offering parts for these units. I have heard that someone is making an aftermarket kit for the air cooled Beetle, but I haven't seen one in years. - a car nut
