This is actually the second VW that I have owned, the first being a 1970 Bug back in high school. A lot has changed in 45 years. This VW Jetta is a lot more comfortable than my old bug and had a lot more creature comfort features. The great thing is that VW is still an excellent value for the money! Good looks, power and gas mileage for under $22,000, out the door (title, taxes and doc fees).
