In my opinion trading the jeep for a VW is NOT an upgrade. Who needs AC in a jeep the top comes off. :)
My daughter loves her 95 Wrangler. Heck I would like to get another one.
Dynbld,
It depends on what the definition of "upgrade" is to each person. Upgrade to the OP might be a better ride, 2-3 times the gas milage, quieter etc. But, a VW certainly cannot go where a Jeep can go. And, 5 out of the 7 Jeep Wranglers we had, had A/C and we used it all the time. Taking the top off in heat and humidity sometimes sucks so, the top stayed on and the A/C was turned on. But, the top did come off at certain times of the year for a more fun style of driving.
And, one more thing, not sure of the exact figures but, I'd have to guess that about 99% of the VWs out there are lighter than just about any Wrangler.
