1986 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America
"Buy It"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A two dollar shift linkage.
Volkswagen door handles.
General comments?
I have owned several diesels and cannot endorse these old cars enough.
If you need a cheap to buy, own, and operate car you will not find a better choice.
