Anyone own a VW Jetta? - Page 2

And if so, do you have to let it warm up for 20 minutes when it gets cold out before it allows you to put it in gear. And if so, is there any way to override this horrendous feature?

Thanks in advance.

My wife has a 95 VW Jetta ( Hate that damned thing/ She loves it).
However, she has no wait when it's cold as hell here.
She the typical woman that just gets in it and go no matter how long the car has been sitting in the cold.

Since it's paid for, sometimes I wish it did have the feature because I know she's probably going to end up throwing a rod in it.

Note: It may be the newer models.

My brother has an 03 1.8t, and he's never had to let it warm up or anything like that. The thing runs like a champ. It's a 5 speed though.

My 95 Jetta GT (6 cylinder, 5 speed) is great! Over 160,000 miles and no problems. My friend, however, owns a newer model (2002?) and hates it.

What year is yours?
