I love my new VW!

[Guest]

I picked up my new Jetta 980kms ago. My second VW - I think I'm hooked. I waited months to get the colour and trim I ordered. It's my first diesel too and I'm really enjoying driving it. Still, I feel a pang of regret when I see one of my old Golf on the road I hope she finds a new owner who loves her.

After years of company Fords and Commodores, you cannot beat European and VW is the best value European IMHO

Any other women out there??

Thank's for the warm welcome.

I'm a sales rep so the economy had lot to do with the decision to go deisel. That and the environmental considerations. I'm sooooo glad it's also a brilliant drive!

I can't understand why anyone would choose to drive auto. I was surprised when I discovered (years ago when I didn't know any better) manual was cheaper. I just assumed it was the best so would cost more.

My daughter get her L's next month and I insist she learns to drive properly Ie. Manual

Problem is, our only manual vehicle is my new Jetta

LOL! Welcome Karen! I know how you feel. My family had autos and I was the one who wanted to learn manual, so I had to do driving school to learn on a manual in order to do so.

Quite the experience though since I had a hoon Czech instructor in Sydney to teach me how to shift fast, how to take corners at a reasonable speed and how to accelerate fast.
