1996 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America

"Volkswagen for life!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I haven't really had any major problems with my car.

When I picked up the car from the dealer, one piece of molding was coming off the front passenger side door.

There was a piece of metal hanging off of the muffler.

The check engine light went on a week after I got the car. (Oxygen sensors were bad.)

Windshield washer fluid tubes were clogged.

All of these problems were fixed under warranty.

Also, the car was never detailed from the dealer before I picked it up. Some of the seats had stains on them, and I think the previous owner had a cat cause there was cat hair all over everything. Not a big deal though, it only took a short time to clean up.

General comments?

I love this car! I received it for a college graduation present, and I have to say that I think it will be the best present I will ever get in my life. I definitely think that I will never buy another kind of car in this lifetime.

This car is fast, great on gas, and drives so smooth. The interior is comfortable (although the seat fabric stains easily, it is so soft!) The controls are all easy to reach. I also like how large the trunk is. One day when I move out of my parents' house, (after I get a real job), I know that I have plenty of room to pack up my stuff.

If I love this (used) one this much, I can't wait to get a new one!!

Economical for a 6 cylinder, fast and fun, but not cheap, and almost unreliable sometimes
