the 1.8t's are great. i'd take it over an rsx or even a new sir to tell u the truth, even over the rsx-s.
but that's just me. i know the reliability isn't close to honda's and that they're made in mexico, brazil and shyt. but, i love the stock performance figures on it, plus the noticable boost in figures after tuning, not like hondas when cai and an exhaust adds like 5hp and 0 tq in total... also the euro style is growing on me, oettinger, wide bbs rims, etc.
where else can you get +60hp/tq or so for $300-$500 bucks just for reflashing/tuning the ecu, with totally stock components?

All I have to say is,
I owned a 2000 SiR. I now own a 2003 Jetta 1.8T it's chipped with a few more mods, and I would never touch another Honda again. The Jetta rocks. Its a solid car, I feel 100% more safe in it. When I shut the door it sounds solid, not like my SiR, everytime I closed the door it sounded like a tin can. VW was a great step from my SiR.
Oh and as for the 20th having heavy rims.. Dude there BBS they are light as hell.
