1997 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Good car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much, Fuel pump ($450.00), went at 78,000 miles, but that's about it. I do regular service my self and the car runs as strong as when I first got it. I drive to work 70 miles a day, at 70 to 80 mph a day, and no problems. Still has first factory battery!
General comments?
Good car for the price! If you let the problems go, it will seem like a piece of junk, just like any other mechanical device.
