2000 Ford Mustang GT or 2001 VW Jetta 1.8T
Finally, I've come down to only two choices.
2000 Ford Mustang GT is a V8 with 260HP and 302 ft-lbs of torque, RWD.
2001 VW Jetta 1.8T is a turbo I4 with 150HP and 155 ft-lbs of torque, FWD.
I like both exterior's looks, but lean a bit towards to the Mustang, it looks like a man-car. Not to mention it's a RWD. But I hate the Mustang's interior, and ride comfort is not as good as the Jetta.
Hard decision. Which one would you choose?

well if your into looks only get the vw as it wont ever be fast. I have a freinds with modded ones they are sad to say the least. If your into going fast and adding cosmetic things too the stang is the way to go. i like going fast hence i got a mustang.

I have a friend with a 1.8T Jetta, and he recently asked me to race him now, and after he gets his chip to see the difference, he damn well knows that even running 20 pounds of boost will still keep him a distance behind me... mind you this same kid owns a late 60's or early 70's malibu, modded and you cant hear anything over it, a nova he is going to use for drag, and his dad owns a beautiful nova convertible that i raped in the GT, he knows muscle, and knows the jetta wont be fast, but he would want it to be as quick as it can be for as little money as possible (ie chip and intake)
I also dont like the way the jetta looks... at all, i think he has an audi S4-looking grill on his car...

Well lets think about it a bit.
If yer one of those 120lb guys who hangs out in coffee shops, wears a berret, likes emo music, has an art degree, crys during sex, and likes to spend free time spiking trees, and has never eaten meat, and loves the smell of his own farts, then get the Jetta.:yawn:
However, if you are the *** kickin, steak devouring, beer swilling, hairy chested, python armed, hulking pile of raw pure testosterone, that has a line of women banging on his door for thier chance, knows stuff about tanks, can school people in pool and darts, king of the BBQ, can perform surgery with a shotgun, and has never seen the tail lights of a jetta... well... Then the Mustang is for you buddy!
