1999 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America
"Best car I ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Actually only replaced the muffler and cat (bought the car knowing about it), window motors and did the brakes once.
General comments?
I absolutely loved my Jetta. My husband just rolled it a couple of months ago and walked away without even a scratch. At 140,000 I never wondered if it was going to start. Drove it back and forth to NH from NJ, and to KY. This car was fantastic and I can't wait to replace it with another.
I don't know what people are complaining about. For me, I was glad that my stupid window motors were the problems I dealt with rather than front end problems and transmission issues with my NEWER year Explorer!
