Bruce,


I test drove the Jetta 4 a couple of weeks ago. I love it! Quality and features are just amazing. All four doors make that expensive Mercedes Benz "chunk" sound. The shifter and clutch are much softer than the A3s. I really like the close-ratio gearing on the 2.0L - good move by VW! The suspension is what surprised me the most. Handling is better than the A3 suspension, I think. That car begs you to take tight turns. There is less float/roll too! As for tarmac isolation, yeah, I hear you. The first Rabbit GTIs are probably the most fun of all. But I think stock cars are just going to get softer.
Have you driven the New Jetta? Now I can't wait for the Golf GTI4.

    I've got a dealer near work that has offered me a test drive in the Jetta (Honest, it's a Golf with a trunk, Carlady {%^p ).


     It looks nice. I can't wait to see how it drives.

Folks, I'm going to freeze this topic and continue our conversation in the The Volkswagon Golf IV discussion. See you there!
