Uncomfortable and lacking a smooth ride are the two chief features of my Jetta. A bonus feature is the "check engine" light, which comes on at random and which Volkswagen mechanics routinely dismiss as unimportant.

I also seem to have a propensity for flat tires with this vehicle. And the gas mileage isn't spectacular, especially for a car this small. I traded down from a Mazda Navajo and have regretted it ever since.
