I've got two VW Jetta's in the family, and the idle is too high at start-up to put them in gear. My 2.5 comes down within 30 seconds, but the 1.8 Turbo takes at minute or so for the idle the come down below 1K.

I saw the same thing in my Boxster manual, and did notice on my '98 that there's really no high idle at start-up to speak of, so I do drive off as soon as I can after a cold start.
