1999 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America
"Great car, looks and runs super"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
E-brake cable stretched (so it don't work).
Lost one of the front bumper grilles (seem to come out too easy).
Single-disk CD player quit working (I got a disk changer though).
General comments?
Cabin is really nice, Lots of options, and a very driver friendly car.
Gets great gas mileage.
Tight shifting and good brakes, runs like a top, never had a problem with it starting, I keep regular maintenance on my car and take care of it.
If work needs to be done, I don't take it to a VW dealer as they cost too much. I think that's why so many people complain about the car.
