Subject: Re: 9-3 SE or VW Jetta GLX?  Opinions?


I drove the Jetta GLX. Now there's a 2001.5 Passat GLX and a '99 Saab 9-3 SE parked in front of my house. The Jetta is tiny in the back and doesn't feel as sporty as it's hyped to be. It doesn't have the looks or refinement of the Passat, and it doesn't have the personality or "drive me fast" appeal of the Saab. I love both my cars, but given the choice both my wife and I jump in the Saab first. PS, your prices on both are well above what a saavy buyer can negotiate. I got a V6 Passat with every option except awd for several thousand less than you quote for the Jetta, and Saab dealers are offering some whopping discounts to move 2002s before the 2003s arrive. The Saab leather is very high quality and worth every penny, IMO. The suspension is a matter of taste, but I think overall the SE package is the way to go -- especially if you're comparing it to a GLX VW.
