Re: 2000 Jetta GLX Plus short comment re: Amoco Premium Gas for David andDebbie Steele

["Demetrius Johnson" <gsi00154@hotmail.com>]

I have a 2000 GLS VR6 with all of the options ( Traction control, cold 
weather package, 16in wheels etc) except power seats and a cd 
changer(damn!!). My second car is a Toyota MR2, so I am a used to a sports 
car. This vehicle meets and exceeds my demands as far as performance goes. 
The engine is strong and torquey,the ride is great and the ergonomics are 
excellent to me. I hear too often of people belly aching about the cupholder 
and all of this other stuff. They should try an MR2 with no cupholder at all 
and see how they manage. In closing, this is the car to have if you have BMW 
wishes and not enough loot to own one. What are you waiting for??? Go Buy 
It!!!

One last thing. The only thing that is sorta bad is the understeer. But it 
is not even that much of a problem for me, I can just notice it. But I don't 
care because if I want that feeling I just break out my MR2.
