I've never ridden in a Jetta older than 4 years old.
I've never ridden in a Jetta that was bought used.
I've never ridden in a Jetta with working A/C.
That A/C in my 190D worked until the charge leaked out and I decided I liked
having the money more than I liked having A/C.

Having W123, W124, W201, and an A2 jetta, the jetta blows them all away
in
terms of how cheap it is to keep on the road. The W123 was a neglected
car,
so it's probably not a fair comparison. The W124 and S124 were far FAR
more
expensive than them all.
No doubt, the mercedes is a better put together car, but you pay the
price
for it.
