1990 Volkswagen Jetta GL Wolfsburg Edition review from North America
"A good, reliable daily driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All things that went wrong were maintenance related.
General comments?
This car is great on gas and handles well.
The 1.8L motor is perfectly adequate.
The trim is tasteful, but relatively cheap. Although if you look at other comparable cars in 1991, like the Honda Civic or Toyota Tercel, it is comfortable.
The parts availability is great. Volkswagen has used the same base motor since the '70s. Very many parts are interchangeable between years.
There is not much I don't like about this car.
