Re: Need Jetta Advice

[Laurence Eng <laurence.eng@3web.net>]

Hi John,

I just picked up my 2001 Jetta 1.8T 5 speed Reflex Silver with Black Leather and the Sports Luxury package 2 weeks ago and I have to say that this is definitely  the one to get.  I previously owned a 95 Jetta GLX and can honestly say that
1.8T is much better in handling and fuel economy.  The only thing that I really miss is the trip computer otherwise I'd rather save the difference in cost and go for the aftermarket upgrades such as chip, exhaust and have more horsepower
than a stock VR6.
I hope that this helps.
Feel free to email me if you have anymore questions.
