Default It's a non turbo, but............

Surprisingly it has a bit of grunt! Fark all road noise inside the cabin, very smooth.(havn't driven many newer cars - perhaps that is normal)....get's to 80 km fairly quickly. Lets just say it very different from my old 96 B5.
Would be the perfect Girlfriends car!!!

Default Lets see.... how can we AWize this car

drop it 2"

tint the windows

get some 17" or 18" wheels

paint the lowers

smoked tails on this car would be a big improvement.

debadge it

Cut an exhaust pipe hole and get a nice tip for a good exhaust, (scrap that 50lb stock gag)

De-chrome that grille

Take lamp clusters apart, paint non-lens and reflector portions black.

smoked side markers, denim is a nice color, but white markers stand out kinda funny.

Any other ideas?
