It is a fairly basic european spec; no leather, no A/C, manual seats (the horror!) steel wheels (upgrading to alloys soon) but I really like the 606 engine and it's been great for hauling stuff around.

- I like the idea of basic equipment, less things to go wrong. In Poland, we drove cars that were reallly basic. Some only had power assisted brakes, no power steering
Even a brand new jetta diesel that my dad brought from Canada back in 92, had no options
You mentioned that you want to get rid of your steel rims. Right now I am looking for some steelies to use em as my winter wheels. Too bad we live so far apart.
