This is just a thought.............

What are the differences between a MK IV Jetta Wagon and a MKIV Jetta? I mean performance wise. Sway Bars, Body Kits, Exhaust, Software, ect..

Remember Just a thought.

I know that scertain body kits don't fit in the rear. The Wagon bumper is different in the rear compared to a regular Jetta, so be prepared to find something special. I know alot of guys use the OEM Euro stuff from the Euro wagons.

Good luck, I would get a wagon if I had the cash.

the earlier MKIV Jetta Wagons had the flusher fitting euro spec rear bumpers while the later ones had bumpoers that stuck out so much you could use it as a bench.

So then all performance parts are going to be the same as my current Jetta? The only thing I need to worry about is the Rear Bumper? Front bumper and side skirts are going to be the same?

Yes all the performane parts should be the same. The rear lowering springs might be different since the wagon is a little heavier in the rear. Other then that everything should work. Caractere has a bodykit for it but you might have to put euro bumpers on in order for it to work.

My GLI Has better Brakes, Seats, cool crome trim. GLI Body kit, 6 speed, and seems more common in the S.D. area than the Jetta Wagon. I know it will seem to be a down grade but I'm kind of liking the idea.

And I figure if I get Amanda Knocked up I will have an excuse to get a wagon. :tup:

Wow I just heard that only about 2% of the 1.8T Jetta Wagons were manual. And then only about 20% of the Wagons were 1.8T.

Jetta wagons and 4-door Golfs with the 1.8T are rarer than R32's.

Good luck finding a 1.8T 5-sp wagon! They're super hot...
