I sold my 2 year old 1.8t for a 2001 Viggen

Loved the build quality of the Passat. Nary a problem in 20K miles of ownership. Loved the look, the dash light show (blue and red? AWEsome), the perky turbo engine (then 150hp, now up to 170 in 2002 models).
Did not like the sound of the Passat's engine -- a little too coarse -- or the feel fo the leather seats -- too hard. Performance was good but not as good as I wanted. Also, Passat's are now a dime a dozen. Everyone has one.
Obviously the Viggen is a step up in performance, which I liked. I knew I'd probably sacrifice vault-like feel (I definitely have -- already after 3500 miles I've got three identifiable rattles) and some of the unique things about the Passat. I probably would not have made the trade for a base 9-3, though.
