My Jetta is made in Mexico, something I didn't realize until after I got it. It's a nice car, when it's working. It has a mystery misfire in cylinder number 4 and we weren't able to get it inspected unless we could get it fixed because they have a regulation that says you can't get a car inspected if it's check engine light is on. We thought it would be a lot to get it fixed, everything else has so far, and we didn't have the money at the time so we let it sit until we did have money and in that few months it completely fell apart. The starter seized up at some point, we had started it not to long before and within a couple days it died. That caused the battery to die with our attempts to start it and the cold weather too. Also if it if it rains a lot it gets hard to shift for some reason, we had to spray some WD40 on the shifting mechanism. Also the electrics are known to be a bit bonkers in these cars at times, if your unlucky you'll get one that will have the alarm going off at totally random times. Oh and the battery for my car isn't carried by any auto parts store in town and we have close to ten different auto parts chains in town, we had to match up the shape of the battery with correct polarity and cranking amps. Also almost every part cost a load of money to get, except brake calipers which were weirdly cheap compared to all the other parts we put on it. Also, yes again, the thing seems to rust like it's going out of style, it's only a 10 year old car and just about everything under it rusts like crazy and that's why we had to change the brake caliper since it rusted it's self to death.
