I have a 2005.5 Jetta 5spd Pkg1 TDI with 4500 miles. We also have a 2005 TDI 5psd Bug with 5500 miles. When I compare how the two cars drive I have to say the big drives much better. My Jetta is hard to shift, you really have to push/pull it into gear. When I am driving down the highway the steering is very light and if you let go of the wheel the car is going somewhere either right or left pretty quick, there is no running straight down the road for very long. The Bug acts like it has more power and is easier to come off the line with. The shifting is smoother in the Bug, the Jetta is the hardest shifting car I have ever been in, and it reminds me of the tractors on the farm.
Is this just my first Jetta and maybe I just don’t know how these cars are supposed to drive, maybe I got a bad one. How should it be, and should the Bug drive better?
