car shopping
A couple months ago we narrowed my car search down to Volkswagon. I really like the german engineering and the look and feel of the cars along with various features. I've test-driven the Jetta, the Golf, and the Beetle.
Tonight I finally got a solid sense that the golf is not the car for me.
If I buy one of the cars currently at the local dealer, I'm deciding between a Galaxy Blue 2004 Beetle GLS and a Spice Red 2004 Jetta. Both are discounted for having been a service loaner or show car. Neither has more than 3000 miles on it and both would carry full new-car warranty.
Any thoughts?

I had Batwranglers experience with a string of undiagnosable problems and cascading repairs with a purchased-brand-new Buick once upon a time. It was truly the Demon Seed of vehicles. Even the mechanic was impressed with how horrible it was despite meticulous maintenance... and he advised me to dump it. It's pretty bad when your mechanic urges you to get rid of what is, for him, a cash cow. :-D My Beetle-owning friends love their cars. So far I know three... all three happy campers.
