when was DBW introduced? and...

for those of you that have driven both, is DBW really that bad?

and i thought DBW was a 1999.5 thing? or is it a 2000 thing?

DBW Started in 2000.

Nothing bad about it...all the engines since then are DBW.

dbw is fine..

Never had a problem with it, nor my gf's vr6 jetta... The gas pedal is kinda numb feeling, but you get use to it. Combined with the lame clutch position, its not the easiest to teach (gf) to drive.
