My '88 Jetta GL has served me very well the last 13 years but it's getting a bit creaky. For the first time in several years, my finances finally allow me to do something about it.
I'm looking at a '93 Jetta as well as similar Civics and Corollas. Frankly, though, the Jetta is the dark horse. While I have little doubt that it will be more fun to drive, my impression is that newer VW's are not as robust a the A2's. And, perhaps, they are not suitable for the pattern of low mileage, benign neglect that describes my use of the '88.
Am I correct in my assessment?
