When did the VW Jetta GLS come out?
We bought our 2.0 GLS new off the lot 13.5 years ago. After getting through the car’s idiosyncrasies in the first couple years (driver’s window staying down, among other odd quirks), the car has been incredibly cheap to own through 237,000 miles. The leather seats and great sound system made for countless comfortable commutes.
