My VW buddy actually just picked up another Vdubb...

He got a 93 jetta GLI... they're the ones with the 2.0 16v engine (the only good engine in the older ones (pre VR6 and 1.8t)). It's got a full recaro interior and whatnot... those and the GTI's which are identical are the only "nice" older VW's IMO...

Although they still suck... my buddies GTI barely pulls on me (the last time we raced was when my timing belt was off a tooth)... and he's got .4 liters on me... a lightened flywheel, cams, exhaust, intake, etc etc etc...

And he's CONVINCED ever since he's been in my car since it's running right (still not tuned properly)... that it would smoke his car... and mine's heavier too I believe...

If that doesn't say it all I don't know what does.

And honda's aren't impressive IMO... they make decent power for what they are but I am no more impressed with my d16's performance than I was with the 1.6 in my sentra... actually I liked the sentra more... but that was probobly because it was my first car.
