I've driven a VR6 Jetta on the autox course last year and although its
got gobs (thats a technical term) of power and the brakes are equally
great, its a heavy car that drools with understeer. Being that the VR6 is
currently the most powerful engine that VW produces, I can see why it
would be considered in the same category ad the Holy Grail to the owners
of such cars. 
To me, unless you do alot of freeway driving where the top end power is
where the VR6 is at its best, then its simply not worth it to me. Then
again, i've only driven the powerplant once and it was a stock motor.

In not a fan of the A3 Golf's. I like the look of the Jetta, nice
refinement over the A2 Jetta. Now the A4 Golf to me, looks like a damn
Honda to me. And in fact, the first one I saw (at Waterfest) I thought it
WAS a Honda. (I even asked somebody, how the hell did a Honda get into a
VW show?)
It looks good from the front end, but the back, the wide C-pilar SUCKS!
Looks like crapolah to me. I dunno. I think that my affection for VW's
will probably only be limited to the A1's and specifically Scirocco's
unless I get disgustingly rich and can afford to buy cars with more of
everything. Dont get me wrong, I love my Roc and I want to have and build
more of them. its just something about the A4's that are turning me off. 
Now the new Audi is a sweet looking car AND its got workable performance!
