I definitely want to trade her in at the end of next year/beginning of 2009 for a 335i Sedan though. At that time, she will be sorely missed.

Thanks all for your replies. And nalyd, I am sure I will have questions when my Jetta gets delivered next week.

I guess flashing the ECU does improve the performance. I'm not sure about touching the ECU but maybe I'll try tuning it up after driving it somewhat.

BTW, I asked the dealer where my car was produced and he told me Mexico. I guess Mexico and Brazil made cars could be pretty equal in quality. :P He told me that most Jettas are made in Mexico now. (I don't know if that's true or not)

Will up pics when I get my car!

Sorry for the late response, but work has been hectic.

Here in SA the 6 disc CD changer is an option, it come standard with a front loader. If you take the CD changer option you lose the aux-in port, thus cannot hook up an iPod. For the record, I bought the VW approved iPod connector, which enables me to play through the head-unit (although the functionality is limited, no song name, only 6 playlists plus a random), anyway it beats not having one, but it could certainly do with an upgrade.

TIA!
