Jetta TDI

[urq]

.... to each their own ... while I bought the '78 Audi Fox because it was a
car that I could set the driver's seat up for myself and sit comfortably in
the back seat behind the driver's seat ... nowadays I find the A4/Jetta to
be just a bit too small.  My ideal would be an A6/A6 Avant with the
six-cylinder TDI ... don't know if the DSG can work in the bigger car, if
not DSG, a smooth 6-speed manual tranny would be the cherry on top.

Now, what would be ideal is a Jetta or A4 sportwagen/avant, with TDi,
quattro, and a six speed or DSG!
