Those were excellent Vws, I worked at a VW dealership around that time and loved driving them. Personally my 2000 Jetta is still going strong, if you're able to afford the maintenance I'm pretty sure you could get many more years out of it (at least until the rings wear out). I'm in the same boat, I've got lovely heated leather seats, nice strong engine, good handling, and a traction control that doesn't piss me off in winter. That's all I need and as "cool" as Tesla's are, I don't expect it'll be nearly as usable after 22 years as my Jetta is. Even VW has now gone down the dark side of EVs, when all I want is an electric 2000 Jetta. It's sad how wasteful these new EVs are.
