Great information and very entertaining video man. My first car in Brazil was a VW Gol, a Brazilian version of the the Golf and a car to substitute the Beetle in BR. When I moved to the US in 1989 my first car was a 1985 Golf GTI, then a 1984 BMW 325e (amazing car), 1991 Corrado G60 and from that on I go into BMWs and Porsches and it became a VICE. Today, 30 years later, I live in Europe and I found a very low mileage (52k kilometers) 1997 Golf CL with a bunch of options and I ended up buying it for my son. Luckier me, I found an 1995 Audi S6 Avant (URS6) one owner and I couldn't let it pass. What an engine!! Keep the good work my friend and we'll keep watching. Cheers. L

I drive a 5 cylinder 2.5L N/A mk5 Jetta, AKA Bora where I live. It's definitely a solid daily car. It can be exciting if you don't care about gas mileage, and the engine sounds pretty good without modifying the exhaust or intake. I got it past the 205 thousand kilometer mark, (about 127k miles) and quite honestly keep it in pretty good shape. I recently changed all of the suspension components but the springs, steering (rack and linkage), and all brake components were changed to give the ride quality an overhaul, and it worked wonders. Needless to say it starts to show it's age (it's a 2006) like the A/C not being as effective, windows being slow, and interior wear and sometimes the gearbox likes to slam reverse in when selected (I know, automatics are for pansies but it's just more comfortable). I constantly travel to a neighboring city about 200km away, and it does damn fine, comfortable cornering at about 160 kph and doesn't break a sweat. being able to adjust seat height and having a telescopic steering column are great features to have, as well as the smaller details like automatic windows and trunk latch. Visibility is also great, except for the small side mirrors. What's with the 2000s trend of making side mirrors small anyway? Overall it is a very solid car to daily drive and not too expensive to maintain, though I am looking at options to increase the power output (150 hrsprs, 230 nm factory spec, minus a few over time) slightly as the acceleration is sub-par. Cornering is surprisingly good, though it tends to understeer at tight turns being FWD even though it stays relatively flat when not bashing it. The ride quality is not great as it's a bit bouncy when a single occupant is in the car, but it is smooth as silk when on interstate travel or with 4 people in it. The trunk space is incredible, I constantly fit a whole drum set (minus the 22'' kick drum) and sizeable amplifier without needing to fold the seats over, a feature which is also good to have. Finally, another positive is the sound system. Pretty loud without saturation and It has Bluetooth from the factory and an integrated equalizer so it delivers more than enough without the need to modify it. All in all I love the little car. I would rate it 8/10 as a daily driver, Though I hope to afford something a little sportier for the weekends at some point (maybe newer too).

I recently got a mk3 Jetta glx vr6 and I love how unique and rare it is. Not to mention that the vr6 sounds incredible and makes it so fun to drive with the 5 speed manual.

OH YAH BOY! Still building my jetta flair from 1990. It is only the year when vw made wider bumpers and littlebit lower car. Loving it!

My dad had a Jetta when I was little, drove it across North America many times. I vividly remember it had a melted tail light from a car fire it was parked beside that never got got fixed. It also had custom interior that my mom and dad splashed with red white back paint on the beige interior that I would always try to pick the paint off. I spoke my first words in this car and it honestly started my love for cars even though it was a straight bucket. Near the end of its life whenever it idled the dash would shake violently rattling the change in the dash, it always made me smile and my dad loved it. He had that car for 18 years. Sadly the ball joint snapped off, my family was pretty pour at the time and my dad had to sell it for parts, I never seen I man to this day so sad to let go of an inanimate object. I always told my dad when I was little I’d buy him a viper (didn’t have much of a concept for money obviously) but I think he would love an old Jetta more than anything

Here in México, the Jetta is a legend. We got a redesigned Mk4 too. Also, we had a very popular ad that said "Todo el mundo tiene un Jetta, al menos en su cabeza.", which means "Everyone has a Jetta, at least in their head."

I just got an MK6 a few months ago. I expected it to a project with 82,000 miles, and *two* previous owners, one of which did a muffler delete, which I love, the welding is top notch. It’s actually a very nice regular car, with the ability to go fast… Everyone who sees it says “this car will last the rest of your life”. She’s my souped up baby, she ain’t for pushing the limits, she’s for “oh hell naw, you ain’t cutting me off”. That’s why I do upgrades, I just want to coast, but I want other people to know I don’t appreciate them breaking my peace, and ruin theirs.

Have had a few vws in my life. A few ive owned and a few i just happen to get to drive. The driving school i went to had vw's i drove a 2.0l jetta as well as a vr6 passat there. My 2nd car whole i was in highschool was a 97 jetta 2.0l ABA with the 5 speed and i had soo much fun in that car. It was simply indestructible, i for one learned to drive 5 speed which was bad enough.... but the amount of rev limiter burnouts i did in the thing was ungodly, it wasnt even fast but i was a dumb teenager. Fast forward a few years i had to get a rental because someome took the bumper off of my new car so i got a rental and it happen to be a mk.6 jetta tsi and i fell back in love witj the brand from that one experience, it was peppy, good in a corner and fun to drive all around. I currently drive a mk.6 passat tsi with the same drivetrain and i love it. I dont know what it is about vw but they always impress me, ill be honest i got it on a deal with very low mileage but it has....hands down..... the worst car fax ive ever seen, every body panel im sure has been replaced, but it still goes straight down the road and has not let me down once and i drive it ever single day, twice on sundays lol.

I got my first Jetta Mk5 it’s never let me down super dependable car & runs like a champ after 100K miles

This is probably the only non toxic car community and I’m proud of it

You you saying the mark for smell like crayons really sent me somewhere. My mom and stepdad‘s friend had a mark four Jetta when I was little and I went with him to get like tile or something from Home Depot one summer and I distinctly remember is being hot and smelling like crayons and he didn’t know why either, I was like obviously you’ve had crayons in here wtf are you talking about?? He said no I don’t think so I don’t use crayons. I was so confused. This has unlocked a memory deep within my mind that I didn’t know I had. Thanks James:)

The mk4 is known as the Bora in Europe. There was also a super are R-Line edition released which had the same bumper as the Golf mk4 R32. Interesting fact - you could completely swap the front ends around between the mk4 Jetta (Bora) and the mk4 Golf, creating a car nicknamed "Bolf". I've successfully created my own Bolf by putting the mk4 Jetta front end (with R-Line bumper) on my mk4 Golf and it looks beautiful 😍

I used to own a mkiv. She was the most fun car I've ever driven. She was gentle on the road but could move if you needed her to. She wasn't fast but was a blast to drive (I owned a 2.0l) and had good acceleration. Unfortunately, a transmission failure killed her and I had to sell her. I was so sad to lose such a great car. I've been looking for a replacement ever since.

@@Maroco918 How's it mechanically a nightmare? It's one of the most reliable engines to come out of Volkswagen, probably only second to the 2.0 / 2.Slow. Sure it didn't get the best fuel economy on paper mainly b/c it was competing at the time with Direct Injection 4 Liter turbo poppers while it was using a Naturally Aspirated Port Injection. From personal experience you'll see way more 2.0T needing work then the 2.5L. Now they moved the block up to the RS line up of cars like the TTRS & RS3 from Audi.
