    i hate vw, if i had to own one it would be brand new and i would sell before 50k. Absolute junk for reliablity and expensive as hell to maintain. If you ever had the thought "god this 3800 sucks to work on" DO NOT buy a VR6. Dont get me wrong, i think there sexy modded and they are quick out of the box, but jesus please have another daily driver.

    ghey.

    VW's are for women. If your considering anything consider a V8 and RWD.

    I have always liked that gen jetta, Personally don't know much about them but I have heard the vr6 is not too reliable. If u get one whatever u do don't do the wheel treatment that is in the pic, looks crappy imo.

    look at those disgustingly stretched tires. what is with import guys doing that? buy wheels that you can actually run wide tires on or pull your fenders farther! ****!

    I had nothing but repeated electrical problems with my 99 Golf.
    I sold it at a loss before it ran out of warranty. I liked the car very much, though that model needed Bilsteins because it had mush stock suspension.
    I wasn't about to pay 500 to 1000 every six months for some repairs on elec. windows/locks that should have been sorted out decades ago.

    Just my opinion.
