1999 Volkswagen Jetta GLS VR^ review from North America
"An unreliable, over-priced yet luxurious car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The moon roof cover came off track.
I Put in the following parts: catalytic converter, engine control module, throttle body, 3 oxygen sensors.
The check engine lights never seems to turn off.
General comments?
The car has great acceleration and power.
A very fun car to drive especially when the moon roof did open.
Very good sound system with factory 6 disc changer.
Was once in the VW dealer's shop for over two months until finally diagnosed correctly.
