ok guys tell me what you know about volkswagen jettas. a friends nephew has a 04 GLI that can keep up with my friends 05 or 06 M3 on the highway. wasnt really looking for one but it looks impressive and its 4 doors...its of the 1.8t 6sp variety with 18" BBS and factory recaro seats.

We've been thinking jetta or maybe audi, but we would only get one for the new 2.0 TDI, i like the jetta though, it's a little sorority sister, but still a nice car

They're pretty high tech, seem to be able to hold a pretty steady 20 km/hr slower than the flow of traffic.
