1994 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America
"The worst car out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
And to think I wanted this car so badly.
The door locks are broken, including the trunk.
Dash rattles.
The Check Engine light came on and remains on, causing the car to go no faster than 35 miles per hour.
It is rusting.
The electrical system is fried.
The car is currently dead in my driveway for the second time in 2 weeks.
So much more I can't even keep going.
General comments?
I wanted this car so badly.
They are easy on the eyes and handle so well. However, I am quite certain that I can find another car that compares.
The cost of repairs is insane, and the repairs are needed often.
Parts are hard to find and usually twice the cost of parts for other cars in the same class.
The dealers are rude, unhelpful and think these cars are great.
The cars are junk and anyone that needs to rely on their car for anything more than to drive to your next door neighbors house should consider another car.
