1998 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"My 1999 Volkswagen Jetta is the most reliable car I have ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, ever since I have had my 1999 VW Jetta, barely anything has gone wrong. I have 40 times more problems with my Honda.
I have had only 2 real problems with this car: my rear passenger window regulator (obviously) and my clutches connection at the tranny. Both were very cheap fixes (less than $150 together) and took less than a day to be fixed.
Think about it, these german cars are 10 times better than the Hondas. Why would it matter if one or two regulators broke? The cars are still amazing. I don't really like how people make these cars seem so bad. They are so much better than most Korean and Japanese cars out there. I guarantee that I will always own at least one VW.
General comments?
This car has a great solid feel.
Every shift feels excellent, unlike my old Honda.
