1985 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"Car is super, easy to work on and great on fuel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front end has needed attention at around 289000 miles. Installed struts, ball joints, cv-shafts, inner and out tie rods, lower control arms. This will keep the girl going for a long time.
General comments?
This has been a great car, handles super and gets 36.7 miles per gallon on the highway and over all driving between 29 and 34 miles per gallon.
Car now has over 294000 miles on her and is driven every day.
