I read the entire thread too. Well, besides that one moderators long ass posts about nothing important. I skipped over their arguement and read everything else. Some of them have a hard on for WFSU!
I came to VW after owning a ZX3 then to an SVT Focus, and so have a bunch of FocalJet members... I'm still an active member on FJ. There are your haters, just like any other forum, but for the most part Focus owners love VWs. I for one couldn't afford a VW right off the bat, now I'm at a point in my life where I can afford some nicer things, not extravagant, but comfortable.
