Hi,
I've got nothing against VW -- had a '61 Beetle that I drove 250,000 (second engine) for about 3 cents a mile and never let anyone else work on. However, VW has gone way downhill in reliability over the years. And if we were going to get a sporty car, we would have gotten a *sports* car. We have nothing against them, either :)
Given that there isn't a curve of interest on Magi's commute, that the traffic is way too thick for progressive driving, and that gas is going up, the primary concern was mileage. And I couldn't find squat that did that better (on four wheels) than the hybrids.
