1995 Volkswagen Jetta GL 4dr Sedan
Problems from day 1 with auto
transmission (computer chip), which
eventually needed a total replacing at
52K, window crank broke after 3 month's
ownership, timing belt went prematurely
(53K), suspension is as stiff as a
board, lots of torque steer, brakes and
struts needed replacing at every 30K,
was beginning to have electrical
problems at 60K. Was in the shop every …
4 to 6 weeks beginning at 52K. NOT ALL
problems mentioned above were covered
by the 10/100 warranty. Got rid of it
at 60K and bought Japanese. See many
of these cars in used car lots (new car
and mom and pop) - RED FLAG.
I love my VW

1995 Volkswagen Jetta GL 4dr Sedan
I have had my car for a little over 4 years now and absoutely love it. I know many people who have bought new VW's and I still want to keep my 1995 model. It has had little or no problems and handles well. It is still running strong with 120,000 miles on it.
Great Car!

1995 Volkswagen Jetta Celebration 4dr Sedan
I originally leased the car in sept.
of '95 and bought it at the end of the
4yr lease. The car now has 90,000
miles and is going strong. I still get
good gas mileage and the pick-up is
still great (better than my niece's
BMW!). I have the manual transmission
and I've never had to replace anything
on the car except the brakes and the
battery. The trunk space is huge … and
four adults fit very comfortably. The
interior still looks great, and the
paint also. Definately a great choice.
Jetta.

Car is a lot of fun to drive. It has it's share of problems just like any other 14 year old car. I love it.
