1995 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America

When I got the car, I had the serpentine belt, timing belt, and v-belts replaced, and also the spark plugs.

First to go was the water pump.

The O2 sensor went bad, and it smelled horrible when I was driving it.

Then it was the clutch, that one hurt the pocket.

Fast idle valve has been broken the whole time.

Since I have had the car, I have put a couple of aftermarket parts on it.

First was an intake, haven't been able to find a company that you get a polished tube with it.

Next, was a front strut tower bar. Amazing at how much it helped cornering.

Last (hopefully I will be able to sell the car) is a short shift. Much shorter throw.

Seats are comfortable. Great to go on road trips.

Factory stereo is amazing, great sound quality. No one believes me that the speakers are factory, however the tape deck is annoying.

Car is not that fast, have been beaten by Civics that I shouldn't have been beat by.
