1995 Volkswagen Jetta GL 2.0 from North America
Summary:
Such a sweet ride!!
Faults:
The breathing tube broke which led to an oil leak.
A few minor plastic pieces broke.
General Comments:
The car is a sweet ride, handles bumps like a champ. Maneuvers like a dream.
She might be old, but runs like she just came out of the factory. I couldn't have dreamed of a better ride.
I was quite surprised to find that it is very spacious in the cabin and trunk.
I would definitely recommend this car, well any VW for that matter to anyone.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Your car gets 28 miles per gallon with an automatic and you think that's bad? I think that's pretty good.
And you spent $155 in repairs and it has 130,000 miles, and it needed new struts at 120k? And that to you is a mechanic's nightmare? If that's all it's needed, that to me doesn't sound like a big deal at all. The plastic trays that are broken? That's not a mechanic's job, nor does it affect the reliability of the car.
I do have to agree though that little engine with the auto transmission is a wimpy combination. The same engine with a 5-speed manual is a blast to drive.
