1998 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1.8L from North America
Summary:
A great price for performance of the car
Faults:
There is oil in the air filter. One of the PCB valves has gone bad. The cost to fix this is around 400.00.
The brakes squeak continuously, but I have been told there is nothing wrong with them.
The rear suspension is completely out of the car. The bearings in the rear left wheel are completely gone.
General Comments:
The car, even though it has the smaller motor, has great pick up.
The seats are very comfortable.
I love the trunk space that the Jetta has to offer.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Try finding an independent shop that specializes in Volkswagens or German cars. I've avoided the dealership like the plague... I've done that with my 1997 Jetta and it gets fixed right on the rare occasions it's needed a repair beyond preventative maintenance.
