1997 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Almost legit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Things that have been very upsetting:
Door trim fell off.
Airbag light stays on.
Gas mileage is poor. 19 city, 27 highway. It's a 4cyl. Whats wrong with that picture?
Temp light randomly goes on.
Seats falling apart.
Paint chips.
Cigarette lighter fails to work.
Coolant is screwed up.
General comments?
Not a bad car other than the listed above. I would have preferred to buy a 00 Jetta. It's a fast 4cyl though. I put on a cold air intake, and it flies.
