The Girlfriend Wants a Car....Whats IDeal for her?

[fiftytakedowns]

My girlfriend is looking to find a new car, and shes got a 2003 Saab 93 turbo that shes gotta sell. I told her BBS's and some correct fitment/ stance would be sweet with the saab, but she begs to wants someting different.

her words
"i want a newer car, like mid 2000's, rounded lines, nice interior, sporty but feminine, VERY low maintenance"
7k or 8K if really worth the extra k

she has some interest in the VW's especially gti's but I have limited knowledge about those cars, just that the VR6's are fun to drive.

so R3v, whats my Gf's ideal car?

Sounds like a jetta was made for her. With a Roxy sticker on the rear glass of course.

why is she leaving the kitchen?

No, i dont believe an mk4 is a good choice if reliability is in question

[ALYKZANDYR]

Get her a jetta Vr6.

why is she leaving the kitchen?

To get groceries

Dunno price range, but Acura RSX/TSX? What's a used TL run?

Honda Civic is a winner but a boring one. Low maintenance means Japanese car.... Toyota Corolla?

To get groceries

that's what slaves are for

To get groceries

In that case, she needs a van or a station wagon. Ford Escort wagon then? or wait...that's not very reliable now is it.

[Bimmerman325i]

actually, 95-04 Subaru Legacy/Outback? Probably can get a 2.5 GT or bugeye WRX for decent money nowadays.

<- major subaru nut.

Girls love these things:



Stupid little aero kit makes girls think it's sporty, it's "cute," and it will never break.

Oh, and VWs do not have a reputation for being reliable. I'm also pretty sure newer GTIs are not 8k.

Does she want something automatic?

[fiftytakedowns]

She wants a turbo bug now. any input?

Sounds like she really wants a VW... which are great for girls. BUT, they just don't have the reliability factor...

I don't understand why you let her drive
