I think this belongs in net.flame, not in net.auto. I see that Dave has not driven VWs or Audis lately since the Beetle days, and has a rather low opinion of small cars. The Golf/Jetta is a very solidly built tin-can, and the comfort if very good. The suspension is firm (in German tradition), and the seats may not be ultra-plush, but they are ergonomically designed and constructed of a durable fabric. If you have specific complaints, please post them, but general mud-slinging such as your posting is uncalled-for. \tom haapanen watmath!watdcsu!haapanen
