1995 Volkswagen Jetta Preview summaryImage

Volkswagen expanded the Jetta lineup for 1995 with the addition of two new trim packages, the Jetta City and the Jetta Celebration. Both came with a 115-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that was also dropped into the base Jetta, the Jetta GL, and the Jetta GLS trim packages. And both the City and the Celebration were stripped-down models with lowered sticker prices and a limited set of standard features.

Standard features for the Jetta GL included power steering, power brakes, power door locks, air conditioning, a rear window defroster, dual airbags, an anti-theft alarm system, and an AM/FM/cassette audio system. The Jetta GLS added power windows and a sunroof. A GLX package was also available. It came with a 172-horsepower V6 engine and such features as anti-lock brakes.

The Jetta's handling, roominess, and power were cited as positive points by drivers, but some also noted that their cars needed frequent repairs, which could be expensive.

I love how easy it is to work on the motor. Ours is still fully intact all trim and accessories still on the car. The 1.8t would be a better option if you want some extra oomph when you press the go pedal. Its a great daily driver and hasn't failed us even when the oil pressure sensor failed and we drove 40 miles with barely any oil and no indication of oil pump failure due to a small hole in oil pan. I don't recommend that but the motor is a slow and steady reliable. Its no tuner or racer but it'll get you to and from work with a little love and attention to oil changes belt changes etc. Gas mileage suffers a bit due to the power band of the motor and the gear ratios in the transmission. The low output in lower rpms means the car is geared to put you at 3100-3400 rpm @ 60 mph in 4th (automatic) or 5th (manual) on the highway. Not the best in class for mpg but its not bad at around 22-25 city/hwy. I personally love our jetta and as a mechanic this car is worth maintaining to reach over 350k miles. Dont have to baby this one but no hot rodding the 2.slow if you want it to last a while.Nov 04, 2014

With the supercharger the acceleration is really nice and fun. it could use some brake upgrades, but over all handling is good. Build quality is good it does need some work but it is a 1995 so it'll have that.May 11, 2013
