        A mint condition Mk2 GTI would be my second car.

              Well I think this really depends what you want the second car for and your budget, a B200 is not a horrible choice but there are lots of other options as they are not super cheap.

                Me and my GF is currently driving the Mk5 jetta as a daily commuter... but the manual tranny and the 20" wheels are driving her mad as she needs to drive around calgary all day long.. therefore we are looking for a second car for her as a daily commuter.

                we have narrowed it down to these 3-4

                BMW X3
                MB B200
                VW Rabbit
                Audi A3

                For a lease, the X3 is on the pricey side, while the A3 does not worth the pricetag that it is charging, plus it has no Quarttro.

                so it is down to 2. the B200 and the Rabbit. here are the pros and Cons after i testdrove both.

                B200

                Pros - nicer interior finish, Roomy cargo/interior space, higher sitting, lower insurance premium, lower lease rate, CVT tranny/tiptronic, Panorama Roof.

                Cons - Expensive, styling, low recovery rate after lease, soft seats.

                Rabbit

                Pros -styles, more HP than the B200, ownership discount, higher recovery value after lease. lower lease payment

                Cons - just boring because if i buy a rabbit, the interior will be the exact same as my current jetta.


                so i am still undecided. i have heard rumors that BMW is releasing the 1 series at 2008. so i might wait.
