ooooh... I know this one from personal, recent experience. I had to rent a jetta while the people eater was in the shop getting fixed (because of the dumb robber...
) It was a pretty little car... platinum... it's definately a girl car!
Positives: It's cute, it's shiny, it has pretty purple/blue and red lights on the radio and the gauges, if it's turbo charged (like this one was) it is decently fast, and it can take turns pretty fast....
Negatives: It's not a jeep!! It sits too low to the ground, it can't take bumps very well, it's too prissy.... it sits too low to the ground... wait, and... oh yeah, did I mention it's really low? I mean, I went to the wendys drive through and had to reach UP to give them the money! weird...
I did, however, receive an awesome compliment while I had it... I offered a ride to a guy friend of mine who was rather hesitant because he wasn't sure he wanted to ride in a flashy little jetta. He said they were "hot girl cars" no guys allowed. I asked him if he had just called me a hot girl, and he said "You're not a jetta hot girl, you're a jeep girl, that's a whole 'nother level of hottness."
Anyway... in answer to the initial question... YES-- they are definitely girl cars and nowhere near as cool as anything with 4-wheel drive and a lift! He needs a new car...
