Of course :) Also the drive train is all up front, not much back there
under the trunk. The first week I had the car let us say the front end
became smushed. The front tires left black skid marks, the rear of the car
I believe left the ground (sure felt that way). Stopping power seems to
come almost all from the front.

I *might* get used to it over time. Is VW protecting me from myself? I can
just imaging a valet crunching gears looking for reverse.

Perhaps I don't understand your reference. Anyway, I mean the annoying
beeping sound from the relay under the dash when the door is open. I
pulled it out, but it seems be tied into the alarm system! When I get
around to it I will cover the speaker grill on the relay.

Fair enough. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Jetta. I think after
driving a beloved car for 12 years it will take a while to adjust.

My mom had a Nissan Stanza. Everything you said, and probably worse!
