1994 Jetta GLX

Best car I ever owned. Bought new in ‘94 and put over 200000 miles on the original clutch. Unbelievable! Other than window regulators, nothing but routine maintenance. Wish they were still that reliable.

Should have got one of these long ago.Solid build. Everything works as it was designed to. Great mpg (av 39mpg)UK gallons. Good handling, ideal town car. Bit high reving on motorway with 3500prm only giving 77mph. My GM Vecta gives 105mph @ 3500rpm.. But a real cool car.

Fun Car

This is a great vehicle. I bought this car with 180,000 miles and have had to do a few repairs (new A/C compressor, rear wheel bearings, power window regulator, shift linkage bushings, valve cover gasket, timing belt), but I attribute this more to the high mileage and previous owner than to the quality of the vehicle itself. It is a fun car, quick, great paint, and excellent for city driving. Would definitely recommend.

I purchased this car from a post on Craigs List for $850 cash. The gauges did not work, the a/c had been bypassed, and the catalytic converter was shot. But the car ran good. Good clutch, strong runner, no leaks anywhere. The car has somewhere around 135k miles. I have been replacing little things that should have been fixed or replaced during this cars 14 years of life. However, the parts aren't that expensive if you buy them used from the internet. Remember...you have to maintain Jettas to get the life out of them. I will drive this Jetta until it gets tired, and it gives 100% everyday. This is a good car, to say the absolute least. Thumbs up. I will always drive VW.

I currently have over 251,000 miles on my 1994 Jetta...all I gotta say is, I love it. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned...I trust it more then my other car with only 40,000 miles on it.
