I used to hang out with this little chubby Mexican gal who owned a 1.8T Jetta. From what I remember, she was always having various problems with it. Decent enough fun though because the turbo makes it pretty peppy. I got to drive it like an absolute lunatic since she had a big crush on me.
Not really relevant, but she also let me stick it in her butt. God bless fatties and their insecurities.
ok cars, pretty comfortable unless you ever need to put a normal size human in the back seat. the 1.8t is the engine to get, avoid the 2.no and defiantly avoid automatic. The 24v VR6 is solid and sounds beautiful, while the 12v VR6 is rather not so good. nomatter what engine you get you will want to get a code scanner to turn off the engine light every other month.
>difference between VW Bora, Jetta and Passat models?
Jetta is what the Bora is sold under in the US and Canada, maybe elsewhere too, I don't know. Jetta / Bora are mid size and the Passat is a full size with almost nothing swap able with the Jetta
Eww, have some respect for ur self.
I was a virgin at the time and went pigging. Deal with it.
If you buy a shit germanmobile that you know is going to be unreliable and expensive to fix, you might as well get something interesting, not their shittier version of the corrolla.
2.slow owner here
get the five speed regardless if you want to have any fun at all and get the turbo if you want more power for similar gas mileage and endless aftermarket.
it's been dead reliable for the last 70k though, can't speak for the 1.8 reliability
Enjoy your plastic coolant lines that require you to pull the engine to replace and electrical issues.
Avoid VW Automatic anything.
In terms of reliability the engines for the 99-2005 jettas/golfs are:
2.0
1.9 TDi
VR6 (12 valve)
1.8T
VR6 (24 valve).
In terms of power/fun:
1.8T
VR6 (12 valve)
1.9 TDi
Some tuning will be required to go very quick and give the car some wow factor. Careful as tuning german cars for power costs 200% what a honda does.
Definitely buy a scanner. Most problems aren't terribly expensive but you'd better have tools and not be afraid of spending some weekends patching it up.
Yeah, I considered that. Place looks like a crack house.
How about
baltimore.craigslist.org
More expensive but from a dealership.
127k mil
Manual 2.0.
$3,488
So should I AVOID the 2.0 or not?
