i just broke down and bought me a new DD also. paid a thousand dollars for it, a 92 honda civic hatchback, gets over 40mpg and looks really nice especially with the new wheels i scored cheap on craigslist. of course, i won't be making payments on mind
seriously though, i also have an RSX which also has 200 horsepower and a 6spd tranny in it, a 2 door hatchback like your VW and it probably weighs about the same - freaking BLAST to drive. i can't wait till i can do an engine swap on the honda and upgrade to a b18c engine.
