 After driving a Ford Crown Victoria for 18 years, it is going to take a while to get used to a smaller car where I feel and hear more of the road than I would like. The 16-inch rims and low profile tires give the car a sporty feel but I prefer the smoother ride of a large sedan.   I took the Mercury Milan Hybrid on a test drive first but it was priced too high. It was smoother and quieter than the Jetta.  I am impressed with the fuel efficiency after 500 miles.  I am getting 34 mpg city and 47 highway while driving between 65-70 mph. When the piston rings are seated and the car is more broken in, I expect to do better.
