Bye Bye GTP..

[TDWPgtp]

Well guys, the day has finally come. its not logical for me to keep my 97 GTP anymore. we will be leasing a new car, most likely. I would like to ask for everyones opinions, though. right now my two options are between the 2011 Nissan Sentra SE-R. 177 HP, rockford fosgate audio, moonroof, upgraded suspension, and other features and a 2011 VW Jetta SE 2.5L manual, "premium" audio, and moonroof. Any opinions would be good

Id go with the Nissan. VW has "cheapened" the Jetta a little too much for my liking.

thats what people keep saying, but when i test drove it, it felt very solid. and keep in mind im only leasing them for 3 years, so long term quality isnt exactly an issue. i went in expecting the Jetta to be garbage, but it was surprisingly nice for the price. thanks for the input, either way

I meant more along the lines of interior look and feel.

Maybe I'm conceited, or just a little weird, but if I don't like the interior of a car, I'm not going to settle for it. Thats part of the reason I ended up with an 07 rather than a 97-03. The 97-03 GP interior has so much 80's look to it its ridiculous.

In the end its your decision. I'd pick the Nissan over the VW any day.

ya i actually was trying to find a low mile 04+ but i couldnt afford any. but by any chance have you been in a sentra? in my opinion, it felt much cheaper than the sentra. it had many similarities of other cheap cars. provided you have the opportunity, i urge you to look at another upper scale jetta with the "leatherette" interior. it just felt more thoughtfully designed and a little classier. compared to the older models of the jettas, they gone down in quality. either way, again thanks for the input! also, your lucky to get a 04+. im jealous. i was looking at one with the leather seats and with the special edition body package but it was just out of my price range

From your choices. Nissan all the way......
