I have an '01 Passat and I love the sound system too. I'm no audiophile by any stretch, but I'm always impressed by the sound out of the stock system.

I guess I should list my cars too:

87 VW Golf (totaled )
87 VW GTI (totaled )
90 Chevy S10 Blazer
86 VW Golf
91 VW Passat
79 Jeep J10
82 Jeep J10
78 Jeep Cherokee WT
01 VW Passat wagon

I've liked every vehicle I've owned, for different reasons. The 01 Passat fits me best right now, but the 87 GTI was my favorite, I miss it all the time. All the VWs are fun to drive, they were all manual shift cars. Actually, out of the 9 listed 6.5 of them were sticks (the Blazer started life as a stick and then got switched to a slush box when I blew up the manual tranny). There's also a few vehicles that I owned but never quite made it back to the road. 70 Jeep Commando, 71 Jeep J4000, and 81 Jeep J10.

That should technically be on my list since it was purchased for me originally. But then we decided it wasn't reliable as a family vehicle - and it would be a pain to use for carseats since it's a 2 door.

Which reminds me... I left off a 1979 Cherokee Chief. Purchased for $300 on eBay and we weren't able to figure out why it wouldn't run right. Chief Rustybottom. I would have loved to keep it as a beater but I didn't have money to sink into it. It moved on pretty quickly after it was purchased (that was right before the 1978 Cherokee WT, while I still had the 1997 Cabrio, but before the 1998 Blazer).

You could probably get $5700 now if you had held onto it.


In good condition of course.
