1997 Volkswagon Jetta GL
I purchased my vehicle brand new in 10/96. It was not an educated purchase. My old car's engine went and i walked into the first dealership I found. Since then I have put about 120,000 miles on it and it has been...

My father bought this car brand new in 1982 when I was 13 years old. I spent my afternoons teaching myself to drive in it all winter long before I got my drivers permit that next spring.
I inherited (after begging my father not to sell it...

Pros: good looking, and runs well
Cons: only fits five people
I love my Jetta. I bought my car for a few reasons. My car was at a very low mile count, because it was fairly new I got it as an 1997. It was a cute looking car. It has an alarm, and a nice working stereo with a tape player. If you forget to turn the...

Pros: Reliability and Great Customer Service
Cons: Sometimes Pricey.
I recently purchased the 1995 Jetta through a qualified VW dealer. The advantage of buying a used Jetta through the dealer is that it comes with the no questions asked 1 year warranty. If anything goes wrong I can take the car to any VW dealer and they...

Pros: Nice car for a year or two before things fall apart
Cons: high priced repairs even for small jobs
I have heard a lot of people talk of Volkswagens the same way some people talk of their favorite college basketball team, fanatic and fickle. I have owned several cars during my brief 9 year history of driving. The last 3 years I have had a 1995 Jetta...

Pros: low maintenance costs, fuel efficient, longevity despite being used as commercial truck!
Cons: only that Jetta is gone.
The Bottom Line: Fabulous car I only hope that I can find another. Strong and Loyal.
We got our Jetta in 1997 as a young married couple with one baby. We stumbled through various botched career moves, including loading our spacious Jetta trunk filled to the lid with newspapers at 2am and delivering them throughout town! We had two more ...

Pros: Roomy, affordable, perfect
Cons: None
We bought this vehicle because we needed something more fuel efficient than the '86 Chevy Caprice Classic station wagon we were driving - not exactly an economy car, and my dear husband was commuting over 80 miles a day. We were lucky enough to show up...

Pros: engine, seats, style, AC, handling, HUGE trunk
Cons: average gas milage, NO STORAGE in cabin
I wanted a car that was made for people who enjoy driving. I found it in a 95 Jetta GLX VR6. The engine is amazing, it has lots of go power and never has a problem passing. It's got more options than I even knew existed and I use almost all of them...

I bought my 2 Door VW Jetta on a whim. I was looking to buy a GTI, but when I saw the 2 Door Jetta, I just had to buy it. You get the space of the jetta and the fun/looks of the GTI. Add to it the fact that you've got a rare car, and you're going to...

Pros: gas mileage, cost, reliability
Cons: none
Regretfully, I had to sell my Jetta a few months ago. This car was by far the best I have ever owned. It was an '87 standard shift, purchased with 80K and driven for another 50K. Maintenance on this car was easy and infrequent. Its front wheel drive...

The Bottom Line: The GOLDEN AGE of VW... Sad they dont make 'em like this anymore.
This was the BEST Car I ever owned. I LOVED my 1989 GTI 16v!! I bought this car when I was 21 years old from my local credit union. They had repo'd it from some guy who could not make the payments. During the 3 days when we were working on a deal ...

I started looking for a 4 door when I learned I was pregnant. I originally went looking for a Sports Utility Vehicle. One day while driving home from work, I was checking out all the cars on the road and thinking - "How would I look in that?"...
