2012 Volkswagen Jetta - Liked Car Before Scandal

I have one of the Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagens involved with the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal. Prior to learning that it does not meet emissions standards, I liked this vehicle. The fuel economy is very good (35-40 mpg) and it has a lot of power. Now, I want to get rid of the vehicle because it doesn't meet US emissions standards and I don't think Volkswagen can fix it without impacting its reputation.

Story

The car has a large moon roof, which is really cool, and it was great when we drove through a display of holiday lights at our local Botanical Gardens. It felt kind of magical.

Pros

I like the fuel economy, the peppiness when driving it, and the fact that it has nice cargo capacity. It's a good family car and has a lot of functionality. I also like that the touch screen controls for radio, A/C, etc. are very intuitive.

Cons

This car does not meet US emissions standards. It also makes me feel like a middle-aged Mom (which I am), but I don't always like feeling that way.

2000 Volkswagen Jetta - Well-rounded

Relatively powerful, well-built, and has "German feel" without the huge repair and maintenance costs associated with owning a BMW or Audi. Drives like a 95% BMW or Audi at half of the price. Perfectly rounded package.

Story

There was a relatively large snow storm one year and traffic on the highway was at a standstill, forcing my drive to relocate through some back roads and the Jetta handled the snowy and twisty roads remarkably.

Pros

Buttons are well lit at night Handles well Great gas mileage Nice-looking interior Great details Great safety features Great braking Attractive interior color schemes Sunroof Leather interior Nice radio Nice key fob Easy to work on Heated seats Lumbar support

Cons

CD player in trunk Center console/arm rest prone to breaking Not incredibly fast Coil packs go bad Spark plug wires break easily Plastic interior pieces are not so durable Occasional rattle noises inside cabin Cup holders aren't deep enough Not much leg room in back Driver side and passenger side A/C vents not as strong as middle vents Heating is pretty weak Steering wheel wears easily Windshield cracks easily Sun roof cover is a bit cheap
