Thats awesome you went from MINI to VW. i went from VW to MINI. all i gotta say is why did you go with a jetta. youd think if you had a hatch before youd want to get a GTI! im sure you wouldve loved it. im still in love with GTIS but the MINIs even smaller so i love it more haha. : )
anyways dont get a MC. get an 03/04 MCS if needed. i have an 04 and havent had any problems in a couple years!

I actually wanted a GTI, i was looking at a 20th anniversary model but carfax detected some issues with it, so in the end i went to a dealership and the Jetta was the best thing they had, so i picked it up even though it wasnt my first choice. Anyway i have slightly regretted it ever since, dont get me wrong its a very nice car. I just miss my MINI alot. I found this little number but getting loans right now is so hard and i would still have to sell my car.

Well i knew i had to sell my MINI, i needed something older or cheaper that i could have a lower payment. I like the GTIs and thats what i wanted, and if i had gotten the car i wanted i probably wouldnt be here now wishing i still had my MINI. I ended up getting the Jetta cause it was the nicest car the stealership had when i went there. I had messed up my credit with the MINI so i had to have a cosigner and my cosigner (also my mom) didnt want to go anywhere else. So i picked the nicest car they had that was in my price range. And she had to talk me into it cause i really didnt want it at first. And as i have had the last year i really miss my MINI more and more.

Im going to check this one out on Sunday its local to me, my only concern is its a 04 but it has only 40k miles, but it doesnt have the premium pkg, which i wanted, so that means no Auto A/C and no Sunroof, i want that cause i had it on my last MINI but in not sure if i will miss it or not. I dont know if i will like not having a sunroof. Check it out!
