1996 Volkswagen Jetta TREK review from North America
"Simple design, superior build and great transportation for the last 10 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major, just normal wear and tear items like tires, oil changes, etc.
Although I don't like spending a small fortune to take it to the dealer for maintenance, it has proven wise to do so.
General comments?
I Love it!!
My Jetta has been through heck and back with me. I was in a relationship with a new car dealer who did not deal with VW's, yet I refused to give up my car. (I figured since I was paying for it, why should he care?)
I know all of the little nuances about it and I know just how to drive and treat my VW on the road.
No major complaints from me on my VW
I will buy a VW again
