1991 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"When it's running, it handles nice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator had to be replaced.
The front bumper continually gets caught on curb stops and pulls off.
The starter went bad at 117,000 miles.
The radiator had a leak in it at.
When it starts, it hesitates about three times and then surges.
General comments?
The car rides very nicely, but the repairs are getting more and more expensive.
