You have a 172hp engine, so what?. Damn!!. You sound very much
like those muscle-cars and/or rice rocket presumptuous, and I
hate that kind of people. Because:

I have just a 1.8lts 90hp carburated A2 Jetta, and it still
handles faaaaaaar better than most cars in town (except other
Deutsch miracles, of course). It STILL feels like a REAL
Volkswagen, which I had driven since 1979 (before that,
air-cooled history, sorry).

And that's what counts, that's the BOTTOM LINE. To own a special
car which makes you feel powerful on the highway, and not by
hitting 100mph in one sec, but for the impressive safety you
feel when turning. Same story on a city freeway, or a street
when you have to hit the brakes and the car stays in the middle
of the line, or when a tire blows and you can be confident that
the car will STILL follow the line. That's why I drive
Volkswagen.

Other topic is (dunno VR6s), it's the cheapest car to fix. Where
I live, just EVERY spare parts dealer has A2 Jetta parts. There
are more Volkswagen dealers than Ford and Chrysler toghether.
But you don't need them because that damn car NEVER LEAVES YOU
in the middle of the road. It's the most reliable car I've ever
known, that I can afford.

That's why I drive a Volkswagen, not for its power, not for
luxury, but for reliability, comfort, and economy. Not to
mention because I feel really special inside it, I know
Volkswagens so well that I can feel their simptoms in my hands
when I drive them. I think many people here has a Volskwagen for
all or some of the same reasons I have one (or had for all my
life).

Got the point?

P.D.: OF COURSE I WOULD JUST ***LOVE*** TO HAVE AN A4 1.8lts
Turbo (he, produces very good Torque), OR AN OL' A3 VR6. CAN'T
DENY THAT.
