1983 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from Switzerland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Sufficient power, runs on cheap regular, low fuel consumption, burns no oil, ample space (huge boot).
Top speed 170 km/h.
Two little rusty spots near each lower corner of the windshield but nowhere else. Has run 160,000 km.
Overall condition is excellent for its age.
