auto show impression, disappointment Long

[Captnbr@aol.com]

Well I went to the Fort Laud. auto show this weekend as I am in the market 
for a new car (I absolutely will not be trading or selling the rocco don't 
worry) and figured the car show would be the best place.  I had my heart set 
on buying a new Jetta/golf GTI and was disappointed at what I saw.  In my 
opinion the fit and finish and the quality of interior and workmanship was 
very poor for a 20,000 car. The materials used in my opinion were very cheap 
quality, seats, door panels etc, and did not seem to be assembled very well.  
On the other hand I thought the shifter to be very precise and solid, I 
remember some members saying it was not good, I thought it was great.

Now the passat is a diff. story, I thought this car was put together much 
better, quality of interior was excellent and for a couple thousand more I 
feel it was a much better deal, there is a very big difference between the 
Mexican, and the German VW's 

I saw a VR6 4 motion jetta in the coolest looking dark blue.  And a turbo 
golf and jetta which was cool.

The Hard on car was the (no yelling please) honda S2000, ohhhh man when I sat 
in this car it just felt soo good.  With its small steering wheel and push 
button to start 9000rpm red line but its out of my price range.  There was no 
audi there so I could not compare to the TT.  BMW M coupe, another one of my 
favorites but still out of the PR.  Get this, on the mitsu eclipse 6 cyl. you 
have to remove the entire intake manifold and throttle body to change 3 of 
the spark plugs, F#ck that man. Peace
