I'm having so many problems with my rx-7 that i need to do something with it. i have already replaced the engine a few months ago and i am already having flooding problems. the EGI fuse trick doesn't even work anymore and i have done the atf procedure twice now (and bought new plugs both times). i saw the jetta at a local car dealership and thought it looked kinda cool, plus it has the bigger 6 in it and is an extremely nice looking clean car. what do you think?

at least get the 7 in a running condition, that way you might get more trading it in. Actually, I believe you get more if you sell to a private party, rather than use it as trade-in.

I've owned two Jettas. Didn't like either.



FWD sucks. VW is the Ford of Germany.. so everything freaking breaks constantly. VW gouges for service (although coming from an Rx.. it may not be that bad). Don't bother suping it up. Unless you have drags on, a FWD car isn't going anywhere fast. Even if you have drags on Physics is working against you.



If I had to get another I'd probably get the VR6 with leather. But I'd rather castrate myself with a toothpick first.



The VW might be a less expensive car in the long run than the 7. But if you like having a sports car the VW is not for you.



If you have any more specific questions feel free to shoot 'em my way.

**** the Jetta, if you want a VR6 get a Corrado. Mine handled so well, and was damn quick! Plus the Corrado has a nice body style, not like a jetta that you see 1 million of them on the road every day
