Yes--I have ONLY owed VWs. A serious fangirl here too. I don't know what possessed me to get the Z. But now that I have my Z, I really look back and can not understand how I could have been happy driving anything but a Z. It has truly become an extension of my body the way a sports car should, and yes for that ****-eating grin, and yes for the "I can't wait to drive it" thing. You'd think after a year that would be gone, but no. Still in full force. Having a Z is like... every day is your birthday. Every time you go out to the garage you've won the lottery. I loved my GTI as much as I thought I could love a car. I was dead wrong.

You like the stereo? This is something I should have mentioned in my first reply. I thought the stock stereo was awful. Weak, tinny, just awful. I think a stereo upgrade is a must. The GTI stereo, on the other hand, sounded great on my test drive. I think the only money you'll have to dump into a Z is a stereo upgrade and winter tires if you live somewhere with winter weather. And tint.
