Back in a Taco after 13 years

[GTIDudeMkVI]

Greetings!
I made a HUGE mistake 13 years ago by letting my '08 Tacoma go in lieu of a VW Jetta. Regretted that decision for years, but life kept me from jumping back to one until now.

So.......here it is. Brand new 2022 Trail Edition in Lunar Rock! It compliments my wife's GX460 well. I am looking forward to mods and adventures. It is replacing a '20 Ranger XLT FX4. Just to note, that was a fine truck, but it just didn't cut it for me. Ford cut too many corners and it felt cheap.

I can confirm this as my buddy owns a GTI and a Passat

Even newer ones? I swear I thought I was the only person.
Got OP away from that.

Yeah. Had a MkV Jetta and a MkVI GTI. Great driving cars, horrible to maintain and work on.

Pretty sure it was the Mk4’s that smelled like crayons. My Mk3 and none of our Mk7’s did.

Can confirm. Try owning a tdi...

I guess a 05 NB falls under the MK4 category, it smells like burnt crayons.
