1999 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg review from North America
"Keep care of your car and your car will keep care of you!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car, I bought this car in 2003 with a little over 98k miles on it and it purred like a kitten, still does too.
I've done nothing to this car as far as repairing it, (ouside of the typical maintenance duties); i.e. brake pads, rotor and the now and then liquid changes.
The only thing that's not too great is the rear window defrost during the winter snows when there's a foot on the car.
General comments?
This is an overall excellent automobile and I'd recommend that anyone with a brain buy one. Knowing how to fix cars myself and how to KEEP THEM RUNNING, unlike some commenters, has helped me along the way, but I can't see anything majorly or even minorly wrong with any VW. They're built like rocks and I can't see how things can be broken, take care of your cars people.
Outside of it being the old body style, everything's excellent.
It's a 1999 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition, fully loaded, red, excellent/comfortable interior and a great exterior.
It's fully loaded, power (auto) windows (All 4), ABS (which was installed by myself), a stock 6 disk cd changer, powered moon roof, excellent heating and AC unit.
New side skirts, rear bumper, front grill, hood and full-out exhaust system were put on the car (not because it needed it, but for aesthetic reasons).
The Wolfsburg is top of the line for this particular model and I recommend to anyone who's looking, GET ONE!
