The 1990 Volkswagen Jetta is a very well designed car. It’s very practical and reliable. There's few modern gadgets that are prone to breaking and leaving you stranded. This car has very few electrical components compared to a new vehicle, so it is very inexpensive to maintain-no electric mirrors, door locks, windows to break-down. The spark plugs, oil, fuel and air filers are very simple to change yourself and the parts are inexpensive. The trunk is very large and tall for a smaller car, offering high utility. The seats and covers are very high quality and provide considerable adjustment and firm comfort compared to similar class US or Japanese cars. The downside is the poor quality paint - assembled Mexico. The German paint is three times better.

She's a good car, but she's old and has had her share of problems.

WHEN I BOUGHT A 1990 VW I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF A 13 YEARS. I'M PLANNING ON BUYING A NEWER CAR BUT STILL HAVE RESERVATIONS ON GIVNG UP THIS ONE. I DRIVE THIS CAR NIGHT & day DOING 90 MILES PER HR YET I'VE HAD NO PROBLEM W/ IT SO far

The 1990 Volkswagen Jetta is fast and well built! I have outperformed BMWs and others on the road with this car! It handles really well and since I dropped it and added Toyos, the car stays on the road without any problems at high speed.

I got this car three years ago and it won't die. I've put a lot of work into it but it has all been worth it. I've replaced the starter, suspension, tires, radiator, heater core and coolant resevoir. But I love this car and will replace any part until the thing refuses to ever start again.
