- I am now the proud owner of a three week old Jetta GL
- I am the happiest guy on earth. (only had one problem my gas
- gage always read 1/4 more than it had but they fixed it.)
-
- My question arises because I have been driving a big ol'
- station wagon for the last 5 years. I can do anything in a
- rear wheel drive automatic station wagon, BUT I'm not so
- good at the Jetta yet.
-
- Question 1:
- How high do I go on the RPM's. For the most part
- I'm an aggressive responsible driver. Do high RPM's wear VW's
- out? What will make Campy (named after campignolo bike parts)
- happy?
-
- Question 2:
- How do I drive the corners. Now that the back end
- always stays put. It seems like the front end will slide
- instead. How am I doing. What about gas through the corner?
- And if the car can not spin out rear first what does it do
- and how do I avoid it. If you know of a good driving school
- somewhere around Boston or New England I would love to hear
- it.
-
- Question 3:
- What about car clubs are they any good and what do
- the VW ones do?
-
- I'd love any help you can offer.

- Another happy Fahrvergnugener
