Are Volkswagen Jettas a good buy? My mother is looking at a Volkswagen jetta sport 2011 , or a honda civic.. VW but she isnt sure how good they are maintenance wise, she doesnt want to get something that will be in the shop every weekend.. They're very good cars, she won't be disappointed. I own a Volks Wagen Jetta and its a very good buy! It will stay with you for a long while, Its fast, its very handleable, very easy to manage, and pretty good looking. You wont have any problems with the car, i guarantee from experience. Its worth every cent of the money. Also, the seats are very comfortable, and the air conditioner is very fast cooling. Jettas are some of the most reliable cars out there. Once you get one, and if you're good about maintenance, they just won't quit. I've got a friend with a 2004 who's got over 100K on his Jetta and that little thing just won't quit.
I will drive VW's for the rest of my life. She has to understand, though that once she enters the VW family, she will have a very hard time leaving. 0 - EvelynThe ModifiedDog. Many of these insurance companies are always ripping you off at every chance they get. I had ONE accident in which the damage was smaller than the deductible, so I for it myself. But when I had to renew my policy, they charged me extra. I assume you mean the 90's Jetta GT's. No they do not have a Turbo. It was an option. 1960's, with a couple of different companies making kits for the vehicle. I think DPD air, Fridgeking and Texas Air were the biggest and best known of the companies making kits for them. They worked, but, drained off horsepower off a already overworked motor and made them prone to overheating. I think VW didn't offer factory air on the Beetle until the early 1970's. DPD and Fridgeking are long gone and I think Texas Air is no longer offering parts for these units. I have heard that someone is making an aftermarket kit for the air cooled Beetle, but I haven't seen one in years.
With all diesel vehicles it is important to use a winter blend of fuel. Diesel will jell at very low temperatures without it. Diesel cars have a much higher compression ratio that gasoline cars and because battery cranking power drops with temperature they may be harder to start. Some with diesels utilize engine block heaters to make starting easier. Many trucks with diesels have two batteries. The 2009 Jetta TDI is brilliant. The engine is cleaner than a regular gas engine, yet has the same mpg and torque of an old fashion diesel. Older diesels needs to be plugged in to keep them warm, but now with modern technology they start right up. If its under 0 degrees outside, it made take an extra half second to get it started, but i have never even come close to worrying that my VW wouldn't start. Good luck, i hope you get it, because its a great car!
