1996 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America

Since I got the car a month ago I have problems with it.

When I bought it I was driving home and the speedometer stopped working.

A week later I was driving home from work and it started puttering when I was on the gas. I pulled off the road after it dying a few times and looked under the hood and seen a spark from the coil. I looked at it and decided that it was just the wires and not the coil. I don't know what would be cheaper the stupid wires costed 90 bucks.

Another week later the a/c stopped blowing cold. I got recharged and it did the same thing. It blow cold sometimes but most of the time not.

I got my check engine light checked out and the speed sensor is bad, the spark plugs need to be changed, bad O2 sensors along with numerous other sensors.

Now the transmission is bad. It drives but won't shift gears. Since I got the car it has always shifted a little rough but nothing serious but now it won't even shift at all.

Oh and also one back window got rolled down and got stuck. I took apart the door panel and some plastic rollers and other little pieces were broken. I hot it fixed pretty much with some tie wire and it is just temporary but at least I don't have to have tape or cardboard on my window.

Piece of crap.
