my 3rd car was a Mk4 Jetta GLX (top trim model available for that generation) and I loved it. Came with the VR6 which sounded Uh-mazing after a muffler delete (wish I had gotten around to straight piping it). I ran her all the way up to 215,000 miles before I decided to retire the old girl and get myself a 2020 GTI (which I also love).

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).

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

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.

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

Chinese Teh Ping We recently got a Final Edition and did only Bolt ons, stock turbo, and a flex fuel kit and we are already making 390whp. Just for comparison the Evo X is said to have 230whp stock. Also if you don’t know what whp is, its Wheel Horsepower. It’s basically the power that goes to the wheels. Many companies rate HP by crank horsepower in the engine, but the power actually hitting the wheels is lower.

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 😍
