Re: Ok, I did it

They are still shipping from Germany according to my dealer.

Strike #2 for your dealer, well assuming you're in the US or Canada.

US and Canadian Golfs come from Brazil, not Germany.

lets guess $1200)

Why would you want to make a Golf look like a Jetta? If you want a Jetta with the advantages of a hatchback, get the Jetta Wagon.

If Mikhael47 lives anywhere in snow country, he'll think long and hard about lowering the car any more. As it is, my A4s ('99.5 Jetta and '03 Jetta Wagon) barely clear some of the frozen "droppings" on the road.

As for transforming a new car into a Jolf, why not just buy the Wagon to begin with?

Drive the thing first. Then figure out what you might want to fix. Might even be the car loan.

I agree... I bought a Golf because I wanted a Golf. It's going to be a commuter car and I do live in real cold weather, dirt road, doens't get cleared of snow until after I've used it in the mornings. A Jetta would have been nice too, but I couldn't see spending the extra money on it just because it's a Jetta. There was no functional reason for me to get the Jetta at all.

BTW delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. The neon finally gets some rest... she doens't owe me anything but I wouldn't want to be the person that gets her after.
