I was outside shoveling the snow off the street this morning after church, cleaning up the parking places a bit and was looking down the block... now, where I used to live, we were the only VW on the block, but on our block now we have;
A2 Jetta A2 4dr golf A3 GTI New bettle
Plus our A2 GTI... this was all within 8 houses from the corner...
There are times when I've gotten home from work and parked outfront realizing there was nothing but VW's parked here.
Well, we live on a street with over 200 houses on it (boulevard) so i'll do just the one section... 6 VW's between the two stopsigns.

Our town has quite a few VW's around, especially TDI Jetta's - We're a town of
Just one here within at least 10 miles of my house in northern Maine where I live which is a 2003 Golf which is mine. VW's dont sell at all here except used once in a while - nearest dealers are all at least 150 miles from here down in Bangor or over in Quebec or New Brunswick. Most everybody here drives rusted out Chevy trucks. I gotta figure out a way to move south....

Just my own poor, lonely 2003 GTI 1.8T I'm afraid.
When I first moved into the street there were I think 3 Jettas including my own and maybe a Golf (plus 1 Audi).
The street is only 1 block long, dead-end, but it has gone seriously downhill over the years, mostly Subarus, SUVs, and minivans.
Fair number in the neighbourhood though, mostly Jettas, followed by Golfs, very few GTIs, a few Passats. The rich folk what live a few streets away have all the Touregs. Jetta and Passat wagons (estates) have caught on a bit here. I considered the Jetta with 1.8T before settling on the GTI.
There is a "Pre-owned" VW dealer a couple of blocks away, and a service garage a mile or so away specializing in keeping aging VW clunkers running - has a good rep, fixes your auto, doesn't charge an arm & a leg.
Three new VW dealers in Ottawa, so fairly popular. Maybe VW would sell more if THEY WOULD BRING US THE NEW MK Vs BEFORE THE NEXT MILLENIUM!

'87 Jetta GLI, '97 Golf CL, '03 GTI
(Remove the ".NIT.invalid" from the end of my address)
My '00 Jetta. My brother's '86 Vanagon. My RM's '79 Bus. The neighbor's New Beetle. An Audi TT (if it counts).
...Sean.
I live right next to a neighborhood in which I used to make a game of finding an A4 Jetta on every block (serious!). Add in the A3s and B4s and B5s and there's quite a collection here. Helps that it's an upper-middle-class neighborhood and that there are several private colleges (with grad schools) nearby.
As for my own neighborhood, there's a person two blocks down with an A4 Golf TDI, but I haven't met him/her yet.

(then again, my block is 2.5 miles long in an area where mostly young and "hip" people reside...)
