Well, for the most part, its just a car I've always liked. I just want a car that is quick enough to keep myself from being run over in traffic, is still reliable, has four doors (I have to drive my brothers around), and looks good. My Jetta meets those qualifications for the most part, except that it accelerates like an old man with a walking cane. I do drive in autox events every now and then too.

Besides, its more fun to drive a faster car, even if you never drive it anywhere over the speed limit. lol @ Nitro
