    The jetta is most def a girl car.

    However there is no option for "Women Except for Tracy Don't Deserve Cars" and "Why does she need a car if she's in the kitchen?"

    heh.

    I agree with chuck on this one, but the mazda3 or the honda fit would be good because of the manitance costs. The VW would be more expensive on the manitance...

    From what i have heard it doesnt affect anything. That coming from a person running 9" in the front and rear. Now i dunno about running wider in the rear then the front. I have searched for it and no luck. But i dont see how it would affect it. I have seen lots of mags where dubs have 10 in the rear and 9 in the front, might be a show thing. That BMW steel grey jetta w/the DP engineering 10 spoke wheels i posted up their is one of them, 19x9 in the front and 19x10 in the rear.

    go w/ the dub you'd be crazy to buy a honduh or a mazduh over it.

    this is what i would buy for what:

    economical = 2.0l (n/a)
    best gas milage = TDI
    fun to play w/ = 1.8t
    most power stock = vr6

    If you don't give a shit too much about the gas & maintenence, go with the Jetta. The mazda's will offer you more features for the price though. What was her pick btw?

    $10,400 starting. Hard-plastic dash FTW!

    The Yaris is cheap and gets awesome mileage. Too bad they're hard to find. I think the waiting list to order a Yaris is like 6 months or something right now.

    well...we don't have but around 13k, unless we go new...she hates the yaris and fit(i almost teared when she said no fit)....right now we're leaning toward a mazda, civic, or altima even just cause of repair rates...i've heard vw's are costly for maintenence
