Many years ago in my younger days I bought a 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette and was totally impressed by the way it handled the road. It hugged the corners with no problem. Usually never even slowed down for them. Years later I was looking for a small car for scootin around town that was easy to park and good on gas. I tried a few small imports but didn't like the way they handled until I tried a Volkswagen Jetta. It brought back memories of the corvette. This little car handles almost as well. I was sold on this one. (Only difference is other Jetta owners don't wave at you like Corvette owners:)
