Volkswagen are not good cars, they constantly get placed on Consumer Reports Do Not Buy list because they always have problems (usually electrical), they don't last long, and you'll end up sinking a ridiculous amount of money into them. As a former VW and Audi owner I can tell you unequivocally that they are absolute shit cars and I hate them. I would go Japanese with that budget. A sweet ass 2 or even 4 door Accord will last forever and there are parts everywhere. Much smarter buy.

There is one on eBay locally listed for 5300, 2 owners, 60k miles, 5 speed manual, v6, etc. I am probably going to call the guy and check the car out. what is the fuel economy ? Mpg ? V6 sounds like bad fuel economy..
45 mpg with a tdi

Would a Jetta need a 4 cylinder or a V6? There is one model of the jetta which is the Jetta GLI that has a v6, the others are 4 cyls.

Jetta is fine with a V4, V6 is overkill for them (small car). GLI is basically the performance packaged version of the regular V4 and will consume less mpg (since it's a V6) although they will handle better

I have a 2009 Jetta TDI with the auto trans but I only get about 33mpg city. I have gotten 47 highway though
