1995 Volkswagen Jetta Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta:

• Sharp steering response, a taut chassis and a superb driving position combine to make you forget about the wimpy 2.0-liter, 115-horsepower engine under the hood.- Edmunds.com

• And it possesses all the comfort, roominess and practicality that make this compact sedan as useful as many mid-size entries.- New Car Test Drive

• ..the Jetta has an uncanny ability to keep the driver in touch with every undulation and irregularity in the road without sacrificing comfort.- Edmunds.com

What reviewers liked least about the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta:

• The granite-like side bolsters of the seat cushion are excruciatingly uncomfortable.- Edmunds.com

• The interior is rather Spartan, with a hard black plastic dash, cloth seats, manual crank windows and manual outside mirrors. Cryptic radio controls and uninviting plastic texture throughout the cabin were the main negatives.- Cars.com

• The optional automatic saps what little power the Jetta has to offer, and we don't recommend it.- Edmunds.com

1995 Volkswagen Jetta Comparisons:

• There's more trunk space than a BMW 7-Series luxury sedan and the trunk lid lifts beyond vertical for easy loading.- New Car Test Drive

• The Jetta is roomier than a Honda Civic and provides more headroom than a Toyota Camry.- New Car Test Drive

• Sporting a powerful and compact V6 engine, thick alloy wheels and lowered sport suspension, the GLX is a poor man's BMW 328i.- Edmunds.com

Best one-liners about the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta:

• If you want a high-mileage car with room for four, a high-tech diesel engine and a reasonable price tag, the Jetta TDI can't be beat.- Cars.com

• Regular four-banger Jettas are a blast once they're moving.- Edmunds.com

• Punch the gas pedal at any speed or rpm and the GLX is an instant getaway car.- New Car Test Drive

• Great road manners.- Edmunds.com
