Agreed!! The SVT would kick the arse off of any stock Jetta...
but add a lowered suspension, to the climate control, heated seats (I know they are overkill for WA), autodimming rear view, traction control, rain-sensing wipers (all of which this one already has) and you have a decent family hauler...
then add a high flow exhaust (like the Neuspeed that's on it) to get rid of the girly sound...
then add a short-throw shifter to stop the 'rowing a boat' stock feel...
now you have a decent ride...
if you want the whole shabang... and the turbo ($3K-$5K)....
I agree that most Jetta's are .. well .. lame.
This one is deserving of a honorary Contour SE membership... really!
A-tour... I'll race ya once I get the shifter sorted out 
It'll be a good fight.
Shotwell... can I borrow $5K for a turbo??
