[Vwdiesel] FYI on new VW Golf

Fri Aug 15 06:59:52 PDT 2008

In my 92 A2 Jetta, I have 0, nadda, nothing what so ever.

I have one that I have been meaning to screw in the center console but just have not gotten there yet.  I have to wedge my coffee between the seat and by work back pack but that is getting old.

the A4 Jetta has a great cup holder setup?
