And yet other Vdubs were mentioned. :dumb:
I wasn't suggesting him get a B5. I wouldn't suggest that to anyone. I was stating an OPINION. It's more comfortable than a GTi. Where did I tell anyone to BUY a B5? As a matter of fact all I did was state an opinion. B5's are more comfortable than Golfs.
See?
Internets. Srs bidness.
In what universe is the GTi's 41.2" front legroom more than my old 2001 Passat's (sold anyway, who gives a crap they're both gonna break down) 41.5"? The new Passats is even greater at 42.4" so you're argument is null and void.
What's that? Front headroom in a GTi (2012)? 39.3 inches. B5's is 39.7".
GTi front shoulder room? 54.7" vs. the B5's 55.8". Hmmm...I'm seeing a pattern here.
GTi interior volume? 93.5 cubic feet. Uh oh...this could be the deciding factor. No, wait, the B5's is 105.9 cubic feet.
Look, I don't give two and a half craps as I wouldn't recommend an old beater B5 or a slightly used GTi anyway. If a reliable (that's an operative word) daily is the goal I'd avoid both.
And yes, my wife still drives an MKIV Jetta (also smaller than the B5) and when it goes I won't buy another. Nothing but trouble with both of them. Just my opinion. I know many people who have great VAGs (Mitch has a great VAG) and they do just fine for them. I just won't purchase another.
I didn't come here to get into a pissing match. I was stating an opinion that one was more comfortable (again IMO) than the other. That opinion was taken srsly and someone tried to present false claims as facts...to which I proved wrong. Have a great day.
