 Detailed review:

I currently own a 1999 Jetta GL 2.0 and have owned it since new. Prior to that I owned a 95' GTI VR6, butI have always been a Jetta fan and have just loved all the facelifts the Jettas have received over the years, especially the 99's and later...but I do have to say, I am really unhappy with the new 2oo5 body style...it is very bland on the outside and looks too much like a Corrola. My 99' Jetta has been the ideal car for me, but with over 1ooK, it's time to move on to something new. So I test drove the new Jetta this past weekend and loved the way it handled and the interior comfort, but the body style again just kills me, especially the rims that are available...very boring. Anyway, I think I will try something different this time. Too bad...I think VW has lost a customer with me.
