I've had great experience with VW. GOlf and Jetta Wagon. 2.0 engine w manual trans. Both have plenty of room for actions though the golf was cramped with a D.  Golf had 295000 before I sold it for the Jetta Wagon. Far as I know the Golf is still running. THe Jetta was 2 yrs old with 35k. Now has 73k still running wel. Just put timing belt (standard precaution for any VW belt @ 75-85kmi) aldo did the tensioners. FIgure I'll keep it till th ewheels fall off or 300k whichever comes first. THe 2.0 engine is well tested by VW thogh underpowered for some. Gets in the 30 mpg range +/-.

Ed,

Enough room for a grand action in the back?

  List,
   
  I'm in the market for a new vehicle.   My daughter is 21 and 
  I'm giving her the Toyota Corolla...which, as you can imagine, wasn't the 
  greatest tuner vehicle.  Anyway, I'm reading the Cars section in the 
  Sunday Chronicle (San Francisco) and I'm reading a "Motor Matters" article 
  about boxy vehicles like Nissan Cube, Scion & Kia.   At the end 
  of the article I read:
   
  "...these differences aside, while driving these small cars I took notice 
  that the art and design crowd embraces the Cube, the Tuner crowd gravitates to 
  the Scion...etc."
   
  Well, I was amazed and a bit perplexed...really?   Do we Tuners 
  have a thing for the Scion?
