I'm an engineer from the West Coast, and just this week I picked up a '14 Jetta S (2.0L 4Cyl, 5-speed manual). It's proving itself to be a fun little ride, but what I'm really loving is the mileage. My last vehicle was an '02 Ford Explorer with a 4.6L V8, so you can imagine why.
Later in its life, I'm hoping to do some work on it, but for now I'm here to just browse around and learn as much as I can.
