[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

My daughterhas ridden in a MKI all her life. It hasn't affected her at all. 
You can ask her next Cincy, when she shows Ron how to re-build transaxles 
correctly  :)

>- No sedans
>- Must have a moonroof
>- Must be a manual tranny
>- Must have leather
>- Must ride more like the a sporty car (ala GTI) than a luxury sedan
>
>Cars we've already considered and have mostly dismissed:
>- 2004 Jetta wagon (can't get the V6 in the wagon, TDI is 5 seconds slower
>than the GTI)
>- 2004 Subaru Outback (no moonroof on the wagon)
>- 2004 Subaru Forester XT (leather is only an option for the automatic)
>- 2004 Subaru WRX (no moonroof on the wagon)
>- 2001 Audi S4 Avant (although not completely dismissed, it's 900 lbs
>heavier than the GTI and it felt real heavy)
>
>We just found out that Passats come in a stick shift (I thought they were
>all autos), but are concerned it will ride like it's S4/A4 sister.  We also
>still need to see if we can option up a 4-door Golf to be a GTI equivalent.
>
>So any ideas?  New or late model, please. The wife finds confidence in the
>car being newer.  Feel free to reply to me directly, so as not to clog the
>list.  Thanks in advance.
