Also an incredibly crappy transmission....although the front half--the 4-speed, was fine. The back unit simply couldn't take the torque under hard use. If you were a gentle Corvette driver (?) you'd be okay, maybe, sort of.
Would the wife even notice if I swapped out the SE for a GLI, if they were the same color?
Not that I could get away with it, financially, but still.....

One issue I have is the wife actually doesn't care for VWs. Though she seemed OK with the Passat. At this point, she would prefer a comfy loaded sonata over a sports oriented small car. Buy hey, my car, my choice. I just don't want to be stuck taking the RDX everywhere when we are together.

Word has it that the 1.8T will not be available with the new Jetta, just the 1.4T (and the 2.0T for the GLI?)

Worth about $18.5k-$19k on the open market. Does come with new warranty, though, so what's that worth to someone? I could see justification for somewhere in the mid $20s, which isn't all that far off their current price.

Got the notice on the Versa that they have the parts in for the airbag recall so need to make the appointment tomorrow for the 26th. My kid starts her new job on the 30th and is taking a week off before to get things done. Her new job is social media/communications for a local law firm with multiple offices in the state of Florida. For the past almost 4 years she was social media person for the Palm Beach County Lighthouse For The Blind. Seems like this social media craze has opened up a new job description of Social Media Director at many places. Had her interview last Tuesday, they invited her back Thursday to "negotiate" her contract and hired on the spot after some give and take. She'll make a bit more, good to hear, and if all goes well, bonuses down the road with periodic increases in pay, something she lacked at her old gig. Gave them her 2 week notice last Friday and she's thrilled. Since she was a communications major in college and graduate school, the perfect job for her. Also means moving from Palm Beach County back to Broward County where we live, but she'll be south of us near my job. With her sister living/working in Miami and now this new job, we are officially staying put in Casa Sandman for who knows how long which is fine really. Just means we'll have to redo some rooms that we've put off since I was hoping to sell and move, downsize if you will. Such is life I guess!!

I know this forum especially has been a wonderful place to come and be with friends and discuss our lives. Don't think we say it enough to others but I really am so glad I found this forum and found all you folks. We're like family, but family through our computers. And that's enough for me, no place I'd rather be many many times! So thanks guys, and let's keep it going for many years to come. I know as long as I have an internet connection and a working computer, I'll be hear, rain or shine, no matter what! Because y'all do mean that much to me and for that alone, I thank you all!!!
I am, and always will be...

Funny, someone mentioned swapping out their Jetta's and wondering if the wife would even know. My oldest didn't even realize I got my Golf for about an hour when she came in to have dinner that night. She came through our garage I recall but nothing...no reaction. Figured I'd have some fun here and asked her to get something for me from the garage. Again, she came in and said nothing. Weird I thought but...o k. Maybe 20 minutes later as we're sitting eating our dinner, she jumps up and yells, wtf! Goes out to the garage and finally noticed the new car. We both almost fell out of our chairs laughing because it took her so long to react.
But, yes, if things were different, I'd love to be driving a Tiguan as my d d!

I mowed the lawn instead this afternoon, so that took all my energy! Plus I was just there Monday, and there is no way I am ever likely to be buying one.

On a VW, I'd say a full warranty is worth something extra, sure.
That's a good way to get attention on this board @Karen_S

@breld could fill the entire article - he's bought two new and two used in that time frame.
