Wife has a 2006 Mark V Jetta with the 2.5L 5 banger. 135000 on the clock and car has been absolutely bulletproof. The only thing done outside of normal maintenance ( which I do ) is a front brake job and a 4 wheel alignment. Absolutely no issues with engine, tranny, A/C of course as we all well know, YMMV.
Did have to replace the headliner however (a common problem at one point).
It is my understanding that the build quality, reliability, handling and performance etc. of Jettas really went down with the Mark VI but I have no personal experience with them.
