    MKIII Jetta VR6 Opinions!!!

    Well reason of me asking this question was because 5years ago i got a 96 Jetta 2.0 5speed for free from my dad. It wasent my first car at that time i had a 90 Accord Ex Coupe with a h22a1 and stock f22a4 tranny and i was in loved with my CB thing was that i didnt know of this site, so i dint really pay attention to the jetta but i always wanted a jetta. 1 year ago after selling 2 cd5 sedans automatic i bought a 97 2.8 VR6 5speed Jetta. It was nice black leather seats bbs wheels and it was a Trek Edition to me it was a jump to luxury from a CB7 EX. The only two downfall from the VR6 was that it needed major bodywork and had a few electrical wiring problems nothing to do with the engine tho. Well after 2weeks of owning it i sold it and bought me a 91 Accord Lx Coupe 5speed with a sunroof! Well im thinkn of getting one again and this time keeping it. I just want to know what you guys think of the car and whos ever own one so they can give me there point of view! And sorry for the long story im just trying to make things clear of why im asking this question.

          jettas Mk3's are pretty notorious with electrical problems. like windows, lights, ign. switch, etc.

          my friend has one. and i've been helping him for over a year trying to figure out the problems.

          and everything on it is expensive especially the maintenance

            I've seen about 10 cars on fire in my lifetime. 9 of them were Volkswagens. I happened to be in one of them.

            That's all I can say... because I really can't understand a damn word of your first post.

              My sister had an old Golf... that was a heap

              Also those cars have no back seats. Friend of mine had an MKIV Jetta, she was a little 5' 5" chick... I had to sit behind her, no damn room. Strangely though another friend of mine had an MKIII GTI and I don't remember his car being cramped. I DO remember having to push his car down the block though, cause his battery died (he had a system though but still, I never killed my battery when I had a system)

                if they were more reliable, i would own a volkswagon. if you want reliability its not going to be with that car.

                  My friend had a MKIV 1.8T. Went through 3 batteries in a year, and we could never figure out why. Bone stock.

                  I once saw a Passat explode. Jumped 3' off the ground.

                    Wow idk what to say.lol! My experience and a couple of buddies were actually not that. It mostly consisted of bad wiring switches and little things. But dang it made me re-think about getting one.

                        As far as reliability goes nothing compares to a CB7. My CB has 274k original engine and has never let me down. Im just trying to get a diffrent project and the only car other than a CB I would get is a mkIII sedan not a golf i dont like them!

                          I think the VR6 Jettas are good man. My friend had a mk3 vr6 and he let me drive it and those things pull pretty good man. They are nice cars.

                              it seems almost everyone thats posted is against this jetta..

                              but its all on you man if you want it im sure you can work with it and make it nice it very well could be a project...

                              but ive had 2 jettas.. a 94 and a 95 . both trannys went out and i always had at least one of the dashboards taken out... and torn apart..

                              there fun cars though i like em i just didnt like workin on it.. lol

                              i love my CB!
