It may have been. My memory is failing me.
My wife (g/f back then) had an '01 Jetta 2.0 with the 4-speed auto tranny. She bought it new and traded it in last year at 70K miles. All in all, it was a decent car despite rather disappointing fuel economy. The extended warranty did come in handy on several occasions (MAF, window regulators, etc.) but in general, no major complaints. Wife was really sad to let it go as it was her first car.
