1987 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg review from North America

The only things that went wrong with this car were just routine.

Battery died (but I had left the wipers on…)

Dash lights went on and off.

Windshield wipers stopped working.

Everything that needed to be fixed on this car my dad and I fixed with the help of a manual. The most expensive repair was to fix the wipers, which cost about $160.

Also, when it rained really hard, the floor in the back would get wet (No big deal though, I just used a wet vac to suck it up). We never did figure out why it leaked.

I got this car from a family friend who took GREAT care of it. The inside of the car was in perfect condition, and it ran almost like new (It was the first car I learned how to drive stick on, so I beat it up a little bit, but she still purrs like a kitten).

This car has been through 2 years of college, driving from Pittsburgh to the Philly area almost every weekend (along with various road trips). I used this car hard, and it never broke down or failed in any way. This is the most reliable car I think I will ever have owned (They just don't make them like they used to!).

I am sad to say that I had to give this car away, but just to my sister (I wanted to write a review on it just to tell everyone how great the car is). I did get a newer Jetta, though, and I am convinced that VW's are the best cars out there.

I never want to own another kind of car.
