AND be economical. Then I came upon an episode of The Smoking Tire in which Matt Farrah was doing a one take video on a slick little Jetta Sportagen TDI. Through this I learned that the JSW was essentially a Golf VI and that GTI suspension parts and big brake kits would work on this chassis, and that it even shared the same brakes as the GTI from the factory! I looked and looked for a white one with less than 60k on it with the 6MT - to no avail. But I found a black one without the Pano sunroof ( I live in Florida so no thanks on that greenhouse), only 70k miles and with a DSG near my house. I bought an automatic car for myself. WHAT A BLAST!!! I have done an amateur drift event years ago, and any many test-n-tunes at the dragstrip, but nothing was as fun an experience as Autocross.
I even enjoyed working the cone station! Simply put, the Jetta Sportwagen impressed me, it may not be a rocket - it was the only diesel there and the only STATION WAGON. The suspension is not as crisp as a GTI and the body roll was visually and physically evident, but it never snapped back too bouncy or made the weight transitions hard to manage. Brake Dive was comically displayed, but even so, after 6 runs on my own and 2 with an instructor, I never felt like it didn't have enough braking power. They had a chance to cool for 5-10 min between most runs though, so it was not lap after lap of abuse but, they did inspire confidence to brake later and later. HP 2.0L Turbocharged Gas engines are classified GS, a much stiffer class as far as competition goes. The Bad: DSG - Direct Shift Gearbox, VW's automated 6 speed gearbox, has a Manual mode that is a joke - it still automatically up shifts, and doesn't want to downshift. Just stick it in S (sport Mode) and let it do its thing. The Future: I have "the bug" now, I have signed up for a Family SCCA membership and been studying the class rules and allowances.
