HA! You think your going to get better pick up speed with a Honda CRV? I dont think so! Lower horsepower first of all tells it all. Second if your Jetta is automatic thats says it there as well. I have a Jetta GLi 6 speed and it gets up and goes. Sporty too. No complaints and n on hills im the first one up trying to pass people. Any automatic car sucks! If you want get up and go- go with standard transmission and a lil more horsepower sweetie!
