in one of my car magazines that the new 2005 Jetta/Golf will come to the states in the first part of 2005. The base engine will be 150hp and it sounds as though the 1.8t will remain at 180hp. It will be interesting to see the numbers for the base 150hp engine. That's a pretty big jump in power.

Prolly gonna be the 2.0 DOHC engine, kinda the same engine that was in the last GLI models back in 1992.

It's a 2.0L 20valve engine. IIRC, it makes about 155 lb-ft at a higher rpm.   This motor is already available in Europe for the Passat

I believe its Gasoline Direct Injection, which is much better technology.

I was asking about suspension before, and had said my rear brake pads have worn pretty well down. Did it possibly have something to do with that?

I went through my first set of pads in 20k miles. My current set doesn't seem to be lasting much better   But then again, my Jetta feels like it could stop on a dime when compared to the awful Mitsu Outlander rental I have this week.   How do American (mitsu is basically DCM) car companies sell their vehicles? In the past few months I've had a Taurus, Focus, Outlander, Sebring and Neon. Not a single one is worth the scrap they're built upon.

I'll give you one word to answer your question: REBATES.   Though my wife drives a '02 Tahoe and it has been flawless in over 22K miles. But, the panel gaps are tremendous.   Also, you admit that your drive your jetta hard and that is the reason why your brake pads wear so fast. I agree though...the jetta can stop better than any car I have ever driven.
#10949 of 12742 rear pads by flaca Apr 08, 2003 (5:43 am)
My 2001 Jetta with 20K had the rear pad breaks replaced under warranty. They are known to wear out faster than normal. 99 year models were installed. They last longer.
#10950 of 12742 Rear pads... by vocus Apr 08, 2003 (6:02 am)
For anyone with a 1999.5-01 Jetta and prematurely wearing pads (not sure of the mileage they consider 'premature'), there is a TSB where VW will replace the pads and/or rotors free of charge. They will just use the same cheap stock crap though. I have Mintex red pads on the way, and am getting new stock rotors. Will end up going to my buddy at Meineke (and I know they prolly don't have the right tools, no one ever does for a VW). If that doesn't work, I will do it myself.
