If i'm to choose, i'll take jetta as 1st choice, 2nd choice will be civic TCP. Prefer performance over RV or 'looks' and i tend to keep my car for years. One can always mod the exterior for 'looks' however the very heart of the car, the engine, once u 'touch' it, the reliability will go down the drain.
