Hey Davis...its really really late, but the VR6 engine in this review is a 12v, and not a 24v.

Asiamies I agree with your statement, but I’ve owned a VW with the 2.0. It’s a very reliable engine, but man is it slow. I agree though that you don’t need a million HP. 200-250 is more than adequate for everyday driving even spirited driving.

I own a 1994 GLX VR6 Jetta. IIRC the only MK3, and I believe the last German built (WVW Vin) Jetta imported to the US. Love that VR6, such a great power output for the footprint, when new it would leave much bigger motors (3.1, 3.8L) in the dust, and still gets (to this day) high 20s low 30s MPG. Never owned a GTI but really love the MK3 dual beam headlights more than the US spec MK3 Jetta lights.

Great video as always Motorweek! Are there any old reviews of the Oldsmobile Firenza? Some relatives of mine had 2 when I was really young, an 1985 woody wagon with a V6 and an 87 coupe with a 4 cylinder and a manual transmission. Haven't seen one in ages and am curious as to what they were like when they were new.
Insurance on these cars was sky high. I remember calling for an insurance quote and it was just as much as a camaro
