1994 Volkswagen Jetta GL III review from North America
"Great car if owned fairly new, otherwise still good, but many repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It had no dash lights when I bought it, and it took the dealer 5 times to fix it.
Just this year, all of the door locks stopped working, including the trunk. By this I mean, if you lock your doors, the key doesn't work from the outside.
Many, many, many electrical problems!
The driver's door sometimes does not shut.
When accelerating, the engine sometimes sputters in the winter.
General comments?
The car handles wonderful!
I love the way Jetta's look, very sporty and classy.
Seats are pretty comfortable.
The heat and air conditioning work so well in this car! Very powerful!
Roomy interior, no glove box is crappy!
What is up with the exterior mirror adjustors!?
Maintains book value better than most cars I know.
