1986 Volkswagen JettaReview
Fun As Hell! — Car always starts up first thing in the morning with little trouble, Acceleration is decent although you don't expect much from such a small engine. Handling is incredible and has no problems going around even the tightest turns at relatively high speeds. It is surprisingly rust free for a car from the 1980s and still has the original engine, although I did replace the transmission. It gets probably about 28 mpg and all I really have to do maintenance wise is change the oil regularly. It is a very fun car to drive and I often get thumbs up from people who see me driving. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Handling, european style, gas mileage Cons: Not much Looking for a Used Jetta in your area?CarGurus has 23,218 nationwide Jetta listings starting at $995. |

1986 Volkswagen Jetta — low speed but gives it good power, corners good but strut bearings go easy, brakes last forever....reverse gear rattles abit because it was used when we changed it over to a standard. floors last good in them and lots of space inside. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Rims, Stereo Cons: low sped so it revs high on the highway |

Overall Great Car — I like my 1.8 5 speed, with a nuespeed racing adjustable cam shaft & sprocket and a set of headers, with a ported and polished machine matched and balanced head and short block it brings it to 175 horsepower , this cars like a little go cart. Pros: great car to trick out & easy to work on! Cons: not all autoparts cary parts for this car |

1986 Jetta Coupe/2door — Performance- acceleration, excellent now that there is more power braking, needs some help in this department handling, lowering is a must build quality- have fixed all at minor cost from j/y appearance- going for minimal interior, needs some body work cost of ownership- make sure you meet all recommended filter/oil changes + preventive maintenance and you will be fine fun factor- i love to drive my coupe Pros: fuel injection Cons: tin can |

Another Project Car... — Small car, lightweight, and it is very reliable. We're talking 250,000 miles on one engine reliability. Heck, VW even has a 500,000 mile club for those make it that far...pretty awesome.
Pros:
Reliable Cons: expensive to repair |

375,000 Miles On Original Engine — This car was built very well. As long as you can keep up with maintenance, it will last you for a very long time. I had 375k when my car left me on the side of the road. It was the clutch cable, and I didn't know... ($8 part) comfortable, reliable. Only car that could take whatever I could give it... Pros: Great gas mileage, reliable, efficient Cons: Police suspect whether or not you have insurance... |

I Will Always Love Volkswagens Because Of This Car — This was the best car I have ever had! The handling was tight, it had great acceleration, and a good turn radius. I hated to get rid of this car! When I traded it in, it was going strong with almost 200,000 miles on it! This was a very solid car in every way. Pros: Great power, performance, trunk size, cabin room, interior very durable. Cons: The exhaust needed to be re-hung about every 6 months or so, and I went through a lot of brakes (that could be a driver issue, though...) |
