New Jettas are made in Mexico. New Rabbits (Golf) are made in Germany. Unfortunately, the Mexican plant has been known for lax quality standards. I know that VW wants to be on track as the largest automobile manufacturer(worldwide) and part of that philosophy is addressing the quality issues (either perceived or real). VW decided to make the expensive (for them) choice of building the Rabbit in Germany and shipping it to the States (rather than build it in Mexico).

Personally, Id take the 1995 S320 (free) because I am a cheapskate at heart.
