1991 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America
"I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well for 200,000 miles I have had new tires, a clutch and a water pump.
All are normal wear and tear parts for a car of this age. It handles like it's on rails. Awesome handling, quick and sporty. A blast to drive!
General comments?
I love this car. It's super fun to drive, looks good and it's reliable. It pretty quick for the low GL engine.. Love that torque!
