So yesterday I got to test drive the Jetta 1.8T. Loved the steering, loved the brakes, loved the acceleration in the lower speed range... Not too happy with the accelaration in the higher speed range... Darren explained to me that that's the characteristic of the stock 1.8T engine; to have jucice at the lower speed range. I didn't get to drive the RSX cuz the salesman at the Acura dealer was being an ass hole... but Darren tells me that the engine on the RSX is the opposite of the 1.8T in the sense that RSX will have juice at the higher speed when the i-VTEC kicks in. That discussion lead to whether I should just get the VR6 instead for overall power improvement... I dunno...

I think even if I test drive the RSX I'm still going to buy the Jetta... Something tells me that I should get a 4 door and not a 2 door hatch back... plus I get heated seats with the Jetta... Pittsburgh weather seeks for heated seats. :) So I think I'm swaying towards the Jetta... gonna get BBS RX wheels for it just like the wolfsburg edition did!!! awww yeah~~~ :)
