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.
