I love my 1998 VW Jetta TDI, (bought new and received Thanksgiving '97) have had a few problems (loose vacuum lines courtesy of the Mexican factory), but all in all, it's been very good to me. I didn't want a Mexican made car and told the damn salesman I wanted a German made car, but he pooh-poohed me (idot dumbass who I hate and will never deal with again at Motorville, Sheboygan, WI). Car was shipped via rail and have little sprinklings of rust from rail travel embedded in white paint. If anything, I learned that I WILL IMPART MY WILL ON THE NEXT DEAL.

The only way you will put me in a Jap car is if I'm dead.

If you really want to make sure you're getting a German car, you could get a BMW or Merc on European delivery. It's a really cool program if you have a month to spend in Europe, plus the car ends up being cheaper. They just ship it to you when you're done using it.
