Which Would You Pick And Why?
Is it possible to install a front license plate on a 2005 jetta? ANYTHING for a license plate.. No, your car will be the only one on the road without a licencse plate. Volkswagen did this on purpose because they want to make sure that if you bought one of their cars, it would be impossible to drive. First thing to do is go to Pep Boys and AutoZone ask for a Kit to do that with. I haven't done that myself, without ever doing I'm confident that is the answer. I've probably seen them there before. This is a Kit, I'm not talking about one of the cheap plastic crome looking frames. In most states with a 2 license plate law it's legal to run a single plate as long as the car wasn't drilled for a front plate. I live in Nevada (2 plates) and it's not a problem; been running 1 plate for about 2 years. Worst case scenario just strap it to the passenger's side visor on the outside; I'm not sure how effective it is but I've seen several people do it.
If you buy the License Screws that are available at Pep Boys, Auto Zone or any auto parts store, all you need to do is mark the holes with a Marker and screw them in. The screws are like wood screws, and the plastic bumper will hold them just fine. I saw this also: Use your Computer, Buy a piece of sticky back photo paper, and make a Miniature copy of the plate, large enough to show the letters/numbers and just stick it on the front. Your car came with a license plate bracket but someone did not install it. Just go to your local dealer and buy the bracket it rivets onto the bumper. It doesn't cost very much. If you had a choice between a 2007 VW GLI, 2010 or 2011 VW regular Jetta? The GLI has 30000 miles on it. Which would you pick and why? OH and the 2010 or 2011 Jetta would be brand new.
07 because the insurance costs would me MUCH cheaper, as well as the payments. 30k isn't a lot of mileage at all, that car has a lot of life left in it(for a newer Volkswagen, at least). An r32. That wasn't on your list? It is now. A 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. Scoop up the GLI. 30k miles is nothing, just broken in. Insurance will be close to the same for all those cars (They have the same engine options, none of which are very powerful, and have the same safety equipment). The GLI will have a sportier look than the other 2 and will handle slightly better because it is a GLI. Depends on what you are looking for. I sell VW's, so let me see if I can quickly sort the differences out: I'm talking about U.S. Specification Jettas, so if you are not in the US, the information may not apply.
A GLI has a 200 hp 2.0 L turbo charged engine. And it has an upgraded suspension, larger brakes, and is more sporty than the other two you list. Faster, and very nicely equipped. But- find out why the person is selling it first- b/c 30,000 miles on a 4 year old car is HIGHLY unusual and may indicate that the car wasn't driven for a while. It's lost some features that I like. The adjustable front armrest is gone and is replaced with a fixed armrest. Ok for some, but not for others. The rear suspension is better on the 2010's than the 2011's. A fixed rear axle has replaced the independent rear suspension of the 2006-2010 models. The 2011 is less expensive than the 2010 when you compare model to model. I'd have to agree that the best model Jetta to get would be one you have not listed: the Jetta TDI. 3 years / 36,000 miles of free maintenance, you can't beat it. How many miles can you put onto a 1998 VW golf?
