1998 Volkswagen Jetta TDI review from North America
"A practical, fun, comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has lost acceleration rate.
General comments?
For the amount of miles that are on the car, I haven't had to fix much.
When in fully-working condition, it's a lot of fun to drive. It has lots of torque.
It's very comfortable.
The diesel gets great mileage- about 49 miles per gallon.
The majority of the parts have outlived their "life expectancy," including the turbo.
