1998 Volkswagen Jetta GT review from North America

"The most reliable car I have owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong with the car. The only thing that needed to be replaced are the normal wear type parts. I have replaced the suspension, brakes, exhaust, and tires. These I consider parts that had to be replaced from normal wear. I did have to replace the alternator, the ignition coil, and water pump, but these were replaced after 120,000 miles on the odometer. I hardly consider this going wrong.

General comments?

I love my car and I actually don't plan on getting rid of it until it finally falls apart on me. I have already added performance parts on the car which only extends the life of the car. I drive this car daily to work and also use it to go into NYC. And if any one knows about NYC, we have the worst paved roads. This is just a testament to the quality of the car. Everyone else's negative comments and experiences I consider to be no different if it were with a another car manufacturer.

People talk about the lengthy warranties they get, but they don't seem to realize the number of times they bring their car to the dealership. I have not once brought mine in for any part failure.
