my friend from D.C. had a previous generation Jetta VR-6 and let me drive it tonight.

all i can say is "floats like a butterfly, stings like a, uh, waterbuffalo..." lol.

squishy handling + rubbery shifter + decent but uninspired acceleration = german touring???

i just don't get it.

 

so you didn like it huh? lol.
my friend wanted to get the new jetta. i was like no, **** a vw, get a honda. i dont wanna get a call from your *** in the middle of the night askin me to come and pick you up because your car broke down.

 

lol.

 

lol

 

My mom has a 2000 passat v6. Its very confortable, has power. Suspension isnt that bad. Overall the car is pretty good, but has 1 problem-reliability.

 

ja....its to bad vdub cant do any better....

 

it's b/c they put to much time into their catchy commercials and phrases.

 

^ and cause the can't hire a guy that is actually German..... My girlfriend told me she wanted to get a Jetta cause her friend has one and she likes it... i told her i would leave her if she got one

 

well, a Jetta isn't exactly a sporty car, so what did you expect? It's softer then civic and provides better creature comfort. It's a car to use for transportation from A to B, so naturally it's soft so you it's not bumpy (much more comfortable then a civic). As far as reliability goes, I think that it's pretty much a hit or miss. I have a 2000 Jetta 2.0 with 70k miles and the only problem it ever had was a bad coolant temp sensor, so I can't really complain. Besides, the new VWs are supposed to be better. However, I'd much rather take Si over the new GTI (it's a better car and costs much less)
