• Prices are pretty steep for models built in North America, especially given their poor reliability record. This is all the more true for the Golf GTI and the Jetta GLX who sure don’t look like they’re anything special. With such nondescript looks, why pay the ticket price and such cars aren’t really up to par with serious carmaker standards. On the other models, the supple suspension generates a lot of sway, which makes the car go into understeer.
• The 4-cylinder engine performances are really pretty awful, accelerations and pickup are terribly lethargic with the 2.0L engine and they’re even more lazy with the base 1.8L so-called powerplant.
• Noise and vibration come at you everywhere. The engine roar and powertrain rattle and roll sure wear you out in a hurry.
• The manual shifter is sticky and stubborn at first and it loses its accuracy as soon as you put a certain number of kilometers on the vehicle.

LOW MARKS:

• The Golf GTI and Jetta GLX are a handful and are really hard to keep on the road, so inexperienced drivers shouldn’t even get o hold the set of car keys. Torque really affects steering and the syrupy suspension makes the car really unstable. The body and suspensions aren’t sturdy enough to be able to receive a powerful V6 engine. This rough demeanor and directional instability make driving even more precarious on slippery roads, so you have to be extremely cautious.

VERDICT:

• VW sales keep dropping in Quebec, a region where this company makes about half its Canadian sales. Its popularity has melted like snow under a Mexican sun and after testing a recent model, we understand why. Until the next generation arrives, and hopefully a better-quality line-up, we recommend that buyers look elsewhere.

NEW FOR 1998:

• Some new equipment items and design touches.
• New exterior shades.
• Optional side-impact airbags.

Note: Information concerning the 1998 models wasn’t sent to us on time by the automaker, so we claim no responsibility for any errors or omissions.
