re: New Ride

Well, traded in that lovely Ford a bunch of you have seen. Owned the ford for the past 20 months and had no problems besides the $200 i spent on a new starter installed, 20 for new wires, 10 plugs and 1 oil change.....

Traded her in last night for this:

just took these pics on my lunch beak! Will get better ones later.

New car and it has that much rust? Man I would complain about that. Maybe I'm just too picky.

you re gonna love the smoothness of the 2.5...but it can be agressive too,its a really good piece!

 

[altspace]

^New guy. Hehe. It's just sarcasm. They all know me. Actually, I too have some rust I need to paint over on my rear rotors. I've always loved Jettas. Almost bought a VW myself quite a few times.

Planning to do any mods?

[altspace]

Yup, been on that board many times over the years. Looking at an 07' Jetta SEL.

 

[Protege52003]

nice......

so has the 2.0T???

 

[Reitrof]

2.5

 

[Protege52003]

2.5

I am happy with my 2.5 and get okay gas milage! about the same I got with the P5.
