My 123 Merc and my lowered Jetta are nearly identical in height. The Merc is 3-4 inches wider. There are manual shift 4 cylinder diesels out there. I am starting to get my 5 cyl back in tune. My first tank was 30 mpg. They are built like brick out houses. Watch my space in the spring when it warms up.
