What would be the best VW to get ??

I've heard a lot of bad things about VW's, I came real close to buying one....but didn't. Those issues aside....

The Jetta used to be offered with the VR6, which was pretty sweet, but the guys at the dealer told me that they're not offering the VR6 in the Jetta anymore. Basically the Jetta will have two engines, an underpowered I4 and the 1.8T with 150hp, I believe.

If she wants a little more power, then tell her to get the Turbo S bug....it's got a 1.8T with 180hp, IIRC.

I think VW still uses cast iron blocks, although they're heavy as hell, they can handle the power. There are TONS of mods out for VW's. Easiest would probably be to add a chip, I think that can buy you quite a bit of power, and probably doesn't cost too much.

The new VW's seem to be very well designed and made cars. I was very impressed with them when I went looking around, and they give you a lot of bang for your buck. They are also good looking. When I started doing research I came up with way too many complaints about them, so that kept me from buying one. I wanted a Honda anyways.
