99 vw jetta rpm's

I recently purchased a 99 vw new jetta gls, automatic transmission, 4 cylinder 2.0. with 60,000 miles on it.Since this is my first vw I'm not sure what's normal and what's not. My rpm's seem to be running high 3000rpms at 65 mph, 2800 rpms at 60 mph. I've never driven a car that has that high of a reading, of course I'm use driving larger suv's so I don't know what is normal for a small car.. This is my main concern at the moment other than sometimes when I'm just starting out the transmission seems to shift a little hard when going from 1st to 2nd gear. Any help from experienced vw owners would be helpful.
