Overview
Reviews
Picture of 1986 Volkswagen Jetta The 1986 Jetta came as a 2-door sedan or a 4-door sedan that had four different trims -- base, GL, GLI, and Wolfsburg GLI. The base and GL sedans featured a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder, 85-hp engine. The sportier GLI versions (Wolfsburg is the Germany factory where Jettas were produced) had the same engine retuned to reach 100-hp. All 2 and 4-door models were front-wheel drive and came with 5-speed manual transmission, with 3-speed automatic optional. A 1.6-liter, 52-hp diesel engine is also available. The Jetta is a good starter family car, with room for four and a surprisingly large trunk, its biggest distinguishing feature from the Volkswagen Golf. Cloth seats are comfortable, though some owners say only for short trips. The 1986 Jetta is also a good city car as it handles nimbly in traffic and gets great gas mileage. All the abuse of city driving does not seem to take a toll on either the powertrain or engine of the 1986 Jetta, and most owners say they're sure their Jetta will outlive them. Other high points about the 1986 Volkswagen Jetta include the GLI's peppy engine, the large trunk, and its reliability. Repairs are few and far between, it seems, and even when necessary, the parts are pretty cheap and easy to find. The only negative comments concern interior wear and tear and disappointment with the performance of the automatic transmission.

Of course it's not the most luxurious car in the world, but it has a great engine (in its level) and the combination between engine and weight is just what you want for a well balanced HP/Torque car. Allaround: 3

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.

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

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.
