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.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the reliability and fun driving experience of the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta. Many loved its handling, especially at speed, and enjoyed the ability to personalize it with modifications. However, some owners have mentioned that maintenance costs can increase as the vehicle ages. There's a consensus that while it can be slow in base models, the Jetta offers great fuel economy and remains a fun car to drive."
Bought it new and drove it for 160K miles. It was still going strong. The VR6 engine was great. Plenty of power/torque for a little car. Solid construction.
March 19, 2008Acceleration and top speed are quite impressive for a 2.0L, even the bottom end is really torquy. Only normal wear repairs have been needed in her 121,000 miles. Styling is awesome just the trim falls off because it was double sided tape from the factory. She gets 25-30 mpg but parts are kinda expensive due to being German. By far most fun car i have ever owned.
May 8, 2012These cars are reliable, fast, fun, economical, and cute. They can be left stock for an economical sedan for a family or they can be added onto as a fun sporty car for a young driver. The only down side to these cars is that there are a lot of them out there so it makes them less valuable. Cost of ownership is the cheapest I've had and it is the funnest car to drive that I have owned.

March 17, 2011Loved this car till its death. By far the best Vw ever owed. Great handling at fast speeds acceleration was far for having almost 300,000 miles on it. Would recomend for someone looking to get in to cars easy to mod
March 30, 2011Really nothing that I disliked other than the fact that the maintenance costs started to get out of control once the car broke 130,000 miles. I guess that's to be expected though when cars get that old. Other than that, I adored that car, and was heartbroken when I got rid of it.
January 20, 2012The jetta is a fantastic car. VW's are all good cars. I have owned alot of VW's. VW's are very well built cars that last along time. Iv'e had beetles that lasted as long as my Jetta. It's a shame that they quit making the beetle.
June 15, 2009+190k miles on her and still going strong, super reliable great looks, always ready to go
December 24, 2007I got this jetta from a friend. Its a base model with none of the trimmings. Its rusty and slow. But it gets 30mpg and it a lot more fun to drive then i expected. If i was gonna get another jetta it would have to be a TDI or VR6 model.
August 26, 2010Ive owned a jetta for a long time.. love the cars.. expensive to fix but worth it.. Go Euros. Fun Car. you can mod it up. make it look nice.. drive it like a madman or drive it like your grandma. Cool little things you can do.. to make it your own.
June 5, 2010This one had 156,000 miles on the clock and it still pulled pretty strong, until I roasted the clutch. I kinda dragged this car downhill, woops.
