I have a little Elantra GT N-line DD now with the tech package and it's pretty fun, all I could think about driving the Jetta is how it had no driving dynamics. Whatever DNA made german cars in the past, none if it is left in the Jetta IMO. I'm not dead-set against front wheel drive (obviously), but it's obvious they've watered it down way too far.
