michelle and i wanted to replace her cr-v as the miles were getting up there, we were also dealing with a screwy interest rate problem with honda of america too.....after getting absolutely nowhere with them over repeated phone calls and a visit to the dealer we said screw honda.....and bought a 2006 vw jetta w/25k on it, we got a good enough deal where we didn't lose much at all with the negative we had in the cr-v.
the tranny shifts weird in the lower gears, it's electronic shift but sometimes seems like it's searching for which gear to be in under low load situations, anything above 20mph and it's perfect.....no big deal as we have the remainder of the vw warranty, i will have it checked out anyway.
car is perfect with the exception of a few tiny stone chips, and with the non-turbo 5 cyl it has plenty of torque and should get at least 30mpg on the highway which is good
a pic.....
yes the dealer logos are coming off
