      To start with one of the things about the car that I really liked was the 3yr/36000 mile maintenance plan where everything including wearable item are covered. Oil changes, brakes, tires and so on I was told by the VW service manager I talked to. Its rated at 115bhp which isnt bad, and seems much quicker than my auto Aveo. And NO! I'm not getting rid of my Aveo I still love it too much. It stays until it rusts and I sweep it out of my driveway. I havent chosen a color yet, I'm leaning towards white, and the red, possibly the blue as well. I laid out a deposit on it and am in the process of purchasing. I'll post pics when I get it. Anyway the 5spd manual was mucho fun to drive! I havent had a stick in 25 years! To compete with the Honda Civics and cars in the price range VW did have to take some technological and materials backwards 10 yrs, but you get all the upgraded nicer stuff in the Wolfsburg, TDI, and SEL versions. This is an entry level VW Jetta S base model that I'm purchasing for commuter purposes only.
      Missing our beloved 1st gen Aveos everyday!
      Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver!!
      04 Aveo (mine gone but never forgotten)
      07 Aveo 5 (wifes car gone but never forgotten)
      02 Suburban (Eats gas stations as snacks)
      12 Cruze Eco 6MT
      (46mpg daily? Holy crap!)
      12 Sonic 2LT (Wifeys new wheels)

      Chevoo-1/2 Chevy, 1/2 Daewoo. I mean like WTF?

      it works for what you bought it for of course

      the 0-60 is a bit better, I think I read 10.7 seconds with the manual, but the 1/4 mile sits at 18 seconds they wrote I believe, I thought it was kind of heavy at 2800+ pounds

      I think the new Jetta's are ugly as sin.

      really? Cuz compared to that nazi-mobile, a Pontiac Grand Prix is a beauty queen.


      and to poke fun at VW's expense....
