RE: Just bought a car!
The jetta is a good solid car. I used to have a 2001 Beetle 1.8t. Besides a broken motor mount never had any issues with it and i was pretty modified. An automatic is not worth bumping up the power on but if you want the car to look good I can point you in the right direction as far as wide body kits and rims go. Custom lights etc. Congrats on the new car and make sure to always wear your seat belt and be safe.
I remember my 1st car. 1983 Olds Cutlass 442 with the Hurst Shifter. Man those were the days.
