My son's '98 Jetta TDI is soooo much faster than my "new" 240D.

and he can't understand why I keep the faster 300d for his mother and the fastest 350sdl in the garage most of the time

I explained that in hilly Penna where we live any Bozo can get a a vehicle that takes no brains to drive. It takes a real driver to gauge what power is needed to get up hills, around curves and generally meld the car to the road. And to accomplish that with a non-tubo 4 cyl heavy, well built car, you gotta have brains.

I LOVE the 240D
