Anyways when it came time to replace our Jetta our first stop was the VW dealer, and man, those new Jettas just arean't the same. Tons of bells & whistles, but the drive just isn't the same. It's downright boring.
Anyways long story short we ended up with a very stripped down Mazda2 instead, no cruise, no seat warmers, no bluetooth, no keyless entry, but I also don't have a Christmas tree of lights on the dashboard chiming the arrival of our next repair bill either. And it's *almost* as much fun to drive as our old Jetta, and miles ahead of the current VW's we drove.

I would rather have that repair then replace the passenger airbag because the sensor failed, who knows if that was legit, I lean towards not. I had a 2013 Jetta as a loaner and I hated it, it seemed really cheap inside and I don't like the new body style.
