i, personally, really like the new design of the Jetta, and would buy one in a heartbeat if college was not so expensive.

Hell no.

But I guess it depends on where you live. If most males in your place drive a truck, then people would probably say Jetta's a girl's car.

<< the chicks will want to drive your jetta. once you have them in your car, you got them in bed! >>


Yeah, in your dreams.

BTW, my parents owned a new Beetle, and now they own a Cabrio. My dad's compromise to my mom's dream of having a convertible ;)
And both like and drive the car.

I'm going to have to agree that the Jetta is definitely a girl's car, but mostly for the fact that the demographic who's driving most of them are females. On the other hand, the Audi A4, which to me appears very similar in styling, is very much a man's vehicle. Don't really know why, but VW's just have that girly reputation among a lot of people.

Buy whatever makes you happy is the bottom line! I still drive my 1994 S-10 Blazer because it's comfortable and mostly paid for=)

What a surprise. Never even thought a Jetta was considered a chick's car.

What do you guys think of the civic?
(No, I don't own. I'm just asking);)

The only &quot;chick&quot; car i see is the New VW Beetle... every time i see one, there's a HOT chick driving them..

Tell my friend his VW Jetta is a chick car and he'll kick your butt after he smokes you on the track..

Chick car or not, my '99 Jetta VR6 absolutely kicks ass. It's hard to have more fun driving any car for that price.

Really depends on the engine - get the 2.8L VR6 and its not a girls car. However, if you get the wimpy 2.0L, yah, its more of a girls car.

Besides, with minor mods, the VR6 can be stomping Preludes all day long :)

Radragon's article is disturbing on so many levels - I am not sure which is worse, the fact that it says my 2001 Maxima SE w/5-speed is a chick car or the fact that it recommends it for chicks in their golden years - sigh . . . (I am neither female nor old).

Poor BBD, never got behind the wheel of a &quot;man's car&quot;! :p

FYI, I considered my 1968 Camaro a girl's car because it only had a 327ci w/ automatic!

I don't consider it a girls car in the least. I've actually been looking into getting one for myself.

TA!!!!

dude, so what your saying is that if people consider a car cute, than its a girls car automaticlly? have you thought about the design? the beetle may look cute but that doesnt give the label a chick car. look at the design, its sweet. Who's next for the kill?!

edit: im a grammer fool.
