im thinking about buying a 1997 or 2000 jetta they have 112k on them and i kno like honda and toyota and nissan are known for running well over 200k miles but i was curious to about how long the jetta would last me compared to a honda nissan or toyota.. i like the jetta cuz they are a mix of sporty and luxury and they are nice looking cars but i dont kno how long the engines and trannys in vws last..

 

buy it, depending on the engine that it has in it, itll last well over 200k. I know of some vr's and 2.0's that have 250k and are driven daily

 

I have a 97 jetta 2.0 with 175k on it, no major problems other than the cooling fan.
