1990 Volkswagen Jetta GL 2dr Coupe
Got the car with 135k on it. Now its
got 165k. It has got me threw
highschool and now i'm starting
college and it is still going. Its
burning a little oil and the tranny
leaks out a quart every 1000 miles and
it only holds 2 quarts. I ran it dri
before i figured out this and it
started sounding like a space ship but
it lived. It does pretty good off
road for fwd. … She look preety bad
but I don't care. Ran over a
ciderblock once and nothing broke
except my exhaust spring clamp. No
rust under the vehicle and shes been
threw lots of PA and NJ winters. Also
it has a truck bed for a trunk. For
such a small car the trunk is huge.
Jetta Diesel

1990 Volkswagen Jetta Diesel 4dr Sedan
After owning over 30 cars in various
condition and age this has been my
favorite. Acceleration is not a strong
point. The car rides great but
cornering could be better. Any
Jetta/Golf from 86-92 has these woes:
The outside door handles WILL break but
they are very easy to replace (1
screw). If you don't properly seal the
antenna at the fender rain water WILL
LEAK ONTO … the FUSE BOX causing
electrical problems. (SEE OTHER
REVIEW). The diesel engine is famous
for longevity. The engine noise and
diesel smell will grow on you after
awhile...Regular oil and coolant
changes are essential for the diesel
engine.

1991 Volkswagen Jetta GL Diesel 4dr Sedan
This car runs superbly. Changed the head gasket at 330K and it was still in excellent shape internally, also changed the clutch in 2010. Good get up and go and gets 1000 km per 50 litre tank on the highway (20km/litre), 17km/litre in the city. Parts are still readily available. Good for another 10 years.
Good reliable car

Hi VW owners,
I've had my Jetta for 12 years now. It has
almost 150,000 miles on it and I've never
had any problem with it. Very cheap on
maintenance costs. Had to replace the air
conditioner on it about 4 years ago and
muffler & tires. Its been a very reliable car
and now I'm going to get another VW.
