I've owned 3 Jettas, and YES, they have that crayon smell. One of the most reliable cars. I used 1 for a "beater", and the other 2 we for the kids.

I've heard that the crayon smell is due to a wax undercaoting that was used at that time in production. Over the years, the under coating continues to heat up, and the scent rises to the cabin.

1.8Ts can be pretty fun when modified. Trying to get a MK4 GTI back on the road at the moment, they can be a good daily with some care and preventative maintenance. 👍

The 1.8t wasn't the base engine. You could get smaller or less powerful engines depending on the market. In North America the 2.0 was the base engine.

I have driven this car in boring midnight blue for three years. The road noise is rough. The check engine light is on constantly for an “Evaporators” leak. The wheel speed/abs sensors go bad all the time. The wishbone engine mount breaks on a lot of them. But I hate the idea of selling it. The wheel base makes it easy to flip around in and the 5 speed manual is a fun daily. The cup holders suck!!! It has the crayon smell. Mine has heated seats not sure why this Wolfsburg does not.

I love these cars. There's just something about the way they drive and handle that entranced me. Not sure what it is but I love them regardless, the only downside is fixing the damn thing when something breaks. They aren't the most reliable in the world and they're awfully complex for what they do. That being said, they're still pretty good cars. Maybe it's just first car love.

Nice review. This is the car I'm driving these days. It only has 348k miles on it. One thing I'm wondering. What are the buttons for on the turn signal lever? There's a button on the end and a switch on the front face. They don't appear to do anything when I mess with them.

The smell is the sealer melting off the interior plastics, happens to most Volkswagen models from like mid 90s to early 2010s I think.

2.0s are cheap to fix, reliable and when they do go out you can literally get any year 2.0 and just put your intake and all your electrical on it and it’ll work, I think the heads are slightly different though but don’t quote me. But if you find one that works they are like 300 bucks
