RE: 2000 Jetta GLX Plus short comment re: Amoco Premium Gas for David and Debbie Steele
I'm on Amoco Premium also. I ran is with the mid grade for a couple tanks
then went to premium and never looked back. That's the only place I go to
now.

I too would like any info available and owners' comments about the 2000 GLX.
I am considering purchasing one in the next 4 - 8 weeks. For example what
options did you have to choose from? (i.e. rims, in-dash cd quality) Does
the Thule bike rack for the 1997 fit on the 2000? www.carpoint.msn.com
doesn't have pricing for the options can anyone fill in the blanks?
I didn't see any "Sport Package" listed on carpoint as mentioned in other
posts. ____ (What's included?)
In-dash single disc CD player _____
Splash guards _____
Stainless License plate frame, Powder coat black _____
Valve stem cap, brass chrome plated with O-Ring to keep tire pressure _____
Darkened side turn signals _____
Prem. black floor mats, Front ____
Prem. black floor mats, Back ____
Rave alloy wheels, 16" ____
So far there is a '97 GLX in our family, and this will be the second. The
'97 is a 5-Speed, and I love it. It was stubborn going into 2nd for a while
there (especially when downshifting), but that has cleared up. I will take
your advice and try the automatic since I too have rush hour traffic to deal
with, but so far I plan on "sticking" (haha) with the 5-speed.

I have been running Amoco Premium pretty much exclusively in the '97.
Before and after the ethanol nonsense was added. Seems we can't avoid it in
the Chicago area, otherwise I would get my gas somewhere else. I haven't
experienced the symptoms you mentioned in mine. Hope that helps a little.
