What Owners are Saying About the 1992 Volkswagen Jetta

"Perfect first car."

"My father bought one new in 1987, three years before I was born, and it still runs like it did back then. I'm nearly 18, and this is my first car. We did some repairs on it ourselves (Pretty major things) and we think it will go for a few more months (and if I go easy on it maybe a few more years with proper care). Overall a fun car to own and drive, with very advanced features for the time it was built."

"MKII jetta"

"i own a jetta coupe.With an Aba swap and a turbo.Owned the car 100% stock and love it more everyday"

"i love my jetta"

"i love my jetta... I purchased it about 4 1/2 years ago. I have replaced just about everything on the car myself, including radiator, heater core, struts, springs, clutch, trans., exhaust, but have not touched the motor. this car is so much fun to drive, I take it everywhere, I love the classic styling, ease of maintenance, and fuel economy. I will drive this car until the wheels fall off!!!!!!!"
