VW Jetta (was Job for Flavia? ) WAS:Re: [DMCForum] Re: Tom's DMC12... for sale!?

["Flavia" <frvianna@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, as a Neon (one day a DeLorean) owner for about 2 years, I have 
to say it's a pretty good car, never let me down and it was cheap! I 
drove it with all my stuff from Oklahoma to New Jersey and it went 
smooth all the way (1,500 miles). If I could I'd buy a more expensive 
car, but it's great for me. Good gas mileage, doesn't accelerate that 
fast, but I don't need that. As long as it runs, has cruise control 
(which stopped working and it's driving me insane) and it's not stick 
shift, I'm driving! If I get a DeLorean with a stick shift, then I'll 
have incentive to learn!
That is my testimonail about the Neon :)
