It's nothing special, I guess, but it certainly looks comfortable enough and convenient enough. Heck, it's all you want in a family car.

Doesn't look so bad. Probably looks better in color. VW's aren't really known for their posh, luxuriously ornamented interiors.

And I really didn't like the chromy bit on the dash that was always reflected up on the windshield of the Astra I rented.

After spending time in Germany driving Opels, I am amazed at how sparse the interiors are. As an American, I expect certain things: cup holders (4 minimum), lots of cubbies and storage, a multitude of gages even if one of those gages (oil pressure) is only hooked up to a switch, lots of buttons, something interesting on the passenger-side dash like lettering saying "Jetta!!!!!!1!!!!", and automatic transmission.

It's about time VW listens to my needs. Except, there aren't enough buttons, and no oil pressure gage that's not really gaging anyithing.

"Plusher seats?" That upholstery looks like it was lifted from a Dodge Omni.

@FromaBuick6: Hence engineerd's insistance that the passenger-side dash needs a Jetta nameplate in it. My Omni had one of those, but no umpteen cupholders.

@Dhillaz 2.0: But DSG is a higher-performance alternative to a real manual gearbox, not just a ridiculously complicated way of saying, "No, I can't drive a fucking stick and yet refuse to admit it to myself." Right?

It's not looking so good for the future, though. :(

@Ash78: Tranny choice is very personal :) Easier does not always mean superior. We all should band together and start a "manny tranny movement." Some kind of creative window sticker would be good.

Put up your hand if you're like me and find that interior extremely boring.

Actually try to resist your head hitting your desk as you try to stay awake looking at that interior.

Will I ever buy another VW? I suppose the next 60,000 miles will have a large influence on that but I'm afraid I'm like the women with low self-esteem who keep going back to their abusive boyfriends. I don't deserve any better.

That's worrying,why have a grab handle on the drivers side? If i'm a passenger in a car & i see the driver reaching for that i'll know then is the time to stick my head between my legs & kiss my ass goodbye.

I read "sunglass holder" and immediately looked up to where the grab bar is.

the standard multifunction display

And I read that as "malfunction display"

@Ash78: I read that the same way! I also read larger sunglasses holder as faulty electrical system bound to leave you stranded in a bad neighborhood, where you were only going to find a Good Will drop-off location, and now you're stuck and can't get a cell phone signal to call AAA- like they'd come down here anyway- and there are now a group of teenagers actually taking parts off your car-while you sit in it- and you are afraid to get out for fear the car won't be the only thing they'll strip and you wish you hadn't worn your "funky" underwear that morning and keep pressing redial on your phone while you feel the car being jacked up and the wheels being pulled off and then it's dropped on a cinder block and a guy with a big-ass scarf wrapped around his head opens the back door and throws in a hooker and her trick, and they start going to town back there and the scarf-head guy knocks on your window and says to tell him when it's been 15 minutes, and you start to think that you're not going to get those old clothes to the Good Will. Anyway, I had to do a double take on that.

This is cool, and now that we're on the topic of Tranformers, how come nobody ever touched the all-spark to an aircraft carrier? Wouldn't that be one of the ultimate Transformers? And nuclear-powered at that.

I don't get it.

PAUL

What exactly don't you get?

JOSH

It turns from a Passat into a robot, right?

PAUL

Precisely.

JOSH

Well, what's fun about that?

PAUL

Well, if you had read your industry breakdown, you would see that our

success in the action figure area has climbed from 27 percent to 45 percent in the last two years. There, that might help.

JOSH

Oh.

PAUL

Yes?

JOSH

I still don't get it.

PAUL

What?!

MR. M

What don't you get Josh?

JOSH

Well, there's a million robots that turn into something. And this is a Passat that turns into a robot. So what's so fun about playing with a Passat? That's not any fun!
