1999 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"A fun, reliable car right for anyone who loves the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely No Faults.
General comments?
This is the second VW Jetta I have owned. The first was a red 1996 GL automatic. Very reliable, no faults,although it was up in miles, about 220,000 when it finally died. I just bought a red 1999.5 GLS manual yesterday. This car was very well cared for. It has 127,823 miles. I opened it up on I-95 bringing it home and fell in love all over again. The paint looks like it did when it came off the showroom floor. The interior is spotless. Everything works! I am the second owner, which is great!. Jetta's are great cars if they are taken care of properly (same for any vehicle) Minor things like loose buttons and knobs, glove box doors, etc are signs of normal wear and tear from owners who probably didn't really treat the car like the gem it is. I absolutely love VW. I am sure I will be a repeat buyer!
