now it's a Jetta

[Brian O'Neill]

had a 96 gl. sold it cause i couldnt stand it anymore
and bought my 93 90cs. if it was a vr6 id probalby
still have it. i chiped and k+n coned a customers vr6
and it flew !!!! the 2.0 is just plain slow. you cant
do much with it unless you supercharge it, but who
wants to go through all that. that is very low
mileage. weak points are exhaust, rots very fast, mine
had the center muffler replaced while it was still
under warranty. if you buy dealer exhaust for it
afterwards, they give you a lifetime warranty. the
front downpipe split on my bosses sisters car with
only 30k on it. they wouldnt cover that either. other
than that the cars are very good.
