1990 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners really enjoy the fun driving experience of the 1990 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, appreciating its performance and unique design. Many highlight its rarity and the thrill of owning such a spirited car. However, some drivers mention challenges in finding parts, and a few point out performance issues, like difficulty with traction in certain conditions."
In 1990 VW dropped the GLi variant which was replaced by the GTX. The mark 2 chassis and 16 valve 2.0 litre engine were complimented with BBS cross-spoked 15 inch rims and Recaro electric height adjustable racing seats. This variant was limited to two years in production.
January 9, 2008I bought this car in Feb 1990 - YES, that's right, 1990. And now it's March 2010 and it's still in continuous use. What a work horse!!! It is still fun to drive, performs and handles well, heats up good and fast in the winter, but the 185/55 R15 81V tires aren't too good in snow, so I have an SUV for that. Calypso green still stands out and looks great.
March 11, 2010I love my 1.8t I put in it! drilled breaks and all disks is a must, and with the coilovers it handle's well the only complaint I have is the one wheel peels, going to get a lsd diff soon

September 9, 2009Very Fun Car, Rare and Expensive to keep up, parts hard to find. Car was a bit too High Performance for the VW Range when originally offered to public, only 5000 per Model Year Produced.
