Looks like I'm looking at a 2001 VW Jetta GLX (don't laugh).
I can't find any other suitable replacement for the 'Tour under 20K.
Any of you have any experience with the GLX Jetta VR6? Larson VW in Tacoma has one with a Neuspeed exhaust that's been lowered a little too. It's only 174Hp, but there's a turbo if I really feel the need (which I won't). Certified used, so it comes with a 2 year warrantee too.
The reality is that since the accident I'm starting to place more emphasis on things like side and curtain airbags. I work so much now, that it seems like the 200HP SVT only saw daily dashes between home and work (10 minutes away).
Anyway, just wondered what you thought.
