I sold the xA last night and my man and I co'd a loaded 02 Jetta together. Leather, moonroof, 2.0ltr, cruise, Monsoon audio, heated seats, 4-body trunk

Yep. I'm out of the game.

 

that sucks! good luck w/ the jetta - a few of my friends have had them and they seem to have caused them nothing but trouble in terms of repairing, etc.

sorry to see you leave! have fun w/ your new car though - it sounds like it'll be fun!

 

Awww, we sure hate to see you go......don't be a stranger, you hear?

 

Sorry, I forgot to ask in my other post - what made you decide to sell? Just curious.

 

i wanted a real car. i think it was too simple and a little smaller than I wanted. got tired of how easy the interior could scratch and how hard the engine takes to move with more passengers.

I finally told myself I'd pay more for fuel to have more piece of mind in performance.

I had an accident in 2002 that keeps messing with me and I've been trying to find out what works for me.

Last night I tested the jetta with four other men in the car. It was pretty cool. I think it utilized the RPM's more efficiently and shifted smooth for an auto.

We had to finance on it but my S/O was happy to do so with me because he loves it.

 

i'd be the same way if my car gets totaled

gonna be gettin a 63 plymouth valiant lot more fun to work on and that you never see any on the roads anyways!!!

 

You're right!

So a Jetta is a real car, and the xA is a fake car. [j/k]

Sorry but i had to say it lol.

 

I knew someone would say that.

k.... MEATY car

I'm done with compacts at least for now.

 

Not to but in or anything, but the '02 Jetta is a beast if your in an acident.. My girlfriend has one, and we got into an acident about a year ago, after flying off the road about 10 yards and 11K worth of damage we walked away.. To be honest, I didn't even feel the impact..

Congrats on a great car. They're truly fun to drive.

 

The quality of Volkswagen has gone down greatly over the last 12 years. I donated my 95 Passat VR6 5 speed to charity last year as there were just so many things wrong with it. All of them expensive as hell. I have owned VWs since 1981 and loved them.

If my Xa is too slow. I will add a header to it. Maybe a TRD exhaust. I will still get 40mpg and have the reliability of the Toyota name.

I am not writing to the original poster of this forum. I guess I am airing my thoughts and wondering what others think.

I wish the poster luck.

 

i have a header and a trd muffler the closest thing i've come to 40mpg is 37mpg in city driving and 36 for highway

 

lol that wasn't my main point, but I don't get it myself - it seems high. I've checked twice. The usual on the highway is 36-38 and I drive fast. I have 20k on it now so I'll check on it again to make sure I am not boasting falsely

 

Will you still feel the same way when we have a nuclear showdown with Iran and gas prices soar to over 5.00 per gal

 

By then hopefully I will be walking to work

We find out very soon if we can relocate from here to somewhere else with much nicer communities.

 

You mean Anaheim is not the pinnacle of So. Cal. community living? Damn, and I was dreaming of living next to Mickey Mouse.

 

It's not just Anaheim. The whole southwest coastline irks me like mad, though San Diego is much more quiet. I'm hoping to make it to Phoenix for a while and give that a whirl.
Iowa, Texas, Northern VA, SoCal... keep on keeping on.
