I have test-driven a shiny 1997 GTI VR6 and it was, to put it simply, AMAZING.  
The pick-up in that car is enough to make the hair on your head stand straight 
back.  Pretty solid in the turns, and a VERY smooth ride.  When we took it at 
140kph down the highway, the cockpit was nearly silent. I'm sure the dealer had 
to change his drawers when we got back, because I drove it as if it was already 
mine.  (Road Demon) The only thing I don't like about the newer VW's is that 
there's not too much feedback from the road, like you get from our beautiful 
Sciroccos.  You can't feel really what you're doing, or at least the feeling of 
the road is very subtle.
