Re: The best Jetta? (jcadman)

Sorry, I had to vote A2.
An A2 big-bumpered Jetta still looks the best in my opinion. It's a bit less fun to drive but it's so much easier to work on because there are more parts available and the engine bay is able to swallow just about anything.
For the smiles-per-mile factor though, A1s still rule!

Re: The best Jetta? (jcadman)

A bit biased as I love my A1 2-dr sunroof GLI (I do like the A2 16V 2.0, though). Unfotunately, I'm now looking to sell the GLI: hit a deer, but no damage inside the front radiator support; in fact, I hit it on the beginning of a long trip, and the car made and finished the trip. One headlight lookin' at the road, on lookin' for it. So: crumpled hood and need front grill/bulkhead work, plus some rust touch-ups. Front fenders are just fine; they weren't affected.
The reason I've held on to it include the Neuspeed SofSports all around with Bilstein races up front, the tri-y header into stainless 2.25" exhaust, new injectors, and more. All within a year of hitting that damn deer.
Any interest? This car would make a great starting project, or an outstanding parts car.
