#61 of 2806 VW by aling Aug 02, 2000 (12:01 am)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Golfs/Jettas all built in Mexico and not Germany?
#62 of 2806 . by scape2 Aug 02, 2000 (2:09 am)
Yes! most if not all VW Golfs/Jetta's are built in Brazil/Mexico for the North American market. As far as VW Quality, just take one look at JD powers, Consumer reports or just about any longterm review.. VW's just don't hold up like the Accords/Camry's. I recently purchased an Accord over a Jetta. I test drove both. The Jetta was a turbo version and was actually quite nice. Styling was excellent. Room, interior layout however did not please me. Interior room was very small.. Price is another factor. Jetta's are spendy when you add the turbo to meet or beat the HP ratings of 4cyl's from Accord/Camry. As far as Camry vs Accord, Accord.
#63 of 2806 J D Power Survey by silvercoupe Aug 02, 2000 (2:47 am)
J D Powers most recent initial quality survey shows the Accord at #24 and the VW GTI at #156. Nuff said.
#64 of 2806 Well by adg44 Aug 02, 2000 (3:34 am)
I didn't mean to start anything about Nissan and VW in this forum. The GTI is built in Germany still, not in Mexico like the Bug, Golf, and Jetta. I think the Passat is still built in Germany too. Say what you want about the GTI or the Accord. I just sold the junk Accord and got into the GTI. Sometimes figures don't mean anything. Anyways, keep arguing over which car you bought. It's a waste of time. This whole topic repeasts itself. Everyone says the same thing.
#65 of 2806 Hey adg44 by venus537 Aug 02, 2000 (6:47 am)
Just keep reading post #66 over and over.
#66 of 2806 have any of you read the daewoo vs XXX forums? by wenyue Aug 02, 2000 (1:34 pm)
2 guys there constantly saying Daewoo is better than others. They claimed that Daewoo has better build quality than Toyota/Honda's. I didn't reply, since I'm find it very humorous. on a side note. Seems like both Toyota and Honda are having another great year in the U.S. Toyota sales up year to date >12%, unit sales up by more than 100,500 vehcles. Honda sales is up year to date >10%, unit sales up by more than 63,600 vehicles. People just love these 2 brands.
#67 of 2806 for Nissan fans by wenyue Aug 02, 2000 (1:55 pm)
For those nissan fans here. Nissan's north American sales is recovering quite well. Nissan sale is up year to date >17.2, unit sales up by more than 65,500 vehicles. This should be pleasing to the Maxima fans here.

Ecarmack: Liking the interior or not is entirely subjective. If you ask me, the interior 'feel' and 'ergonomics' is better in Accord than Camry. The controls are laid out in symmetry (well thought) and placed such that I can close my eyes and be able to tell you what each button does. Can't do it in a Camry, or for that matter, even in another Honda/Acura. About a 3 year old finding the ride bumpy, I'd agree with him/her. Accord isn't a soft riding car, and that makes me want to drive it more than most other cars. BTW, I noticed an off-white Lexus RX300 this morning. The license plate told me that the vehicle hasn't been on road for more than three months. It had three noticeable dents on the driver side rear door at a height that could only be caused by another SUV. I feel bad for these owners (and myself) when they become victims of carelessness by others in parking lots.

The 'smart' side airbags will now be optional on DX and LX trims, standard on EX with cloth interior and continue to be standard on EX (leather), LXV6, EXV6 models. Lighted power window switches. New fascia (body colored front grill and sharper nose), side sill, new tail lamps. Coupe get more aggressive front and rear bumpers as well. 20 refinements to improve ride quality (including road noise suppression!). LX: 6-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system standard. New wheel covers. ABS equipped models will have 'LX' alloy wheels as standard item. EX: 6-speaker AM/FM/Cassette audio system with 6-disc in-dash CD changer, floor mats, new alloy wheels and steering wheel mounted audio controls will be standard equipment in addition to whatever existed. V6: In addition to above (LX and EX respectively), traction control will be standard. EXV6 gets 4-way power seat for passenger to, in addition to the existing list of features. No word on price increase.

Yes, robertsmx, I agree. I do like how the controls are laid out in the Accord compared to my 96 Camry and the 97-00 Camrys I've had as rentals.
