If you could trade your beloved Civic for a Jetta at $4,000 below sticker, but the Jetta only came in Volkswagen Red, would you do it?

i'd get the jetta. the only reason i didn't get one is because of the price.

go for it. if nothing else, just to spite the morons who say it's a "girl's car". WTF is that? a pink beetle, maybe a "girl's car", but a jetta that can easily out-run, out-handle, and just plain waste a civic!?! i could care less who is driving, male/female/your dog.

i always here that a jetta is a chicks car, but what makes it a chick car, i dont get it. i can see how the beetle is b/c it got flowers as a standard feature, but i dont see anything feminine about the jetta...other than a lot of chicks want 'em. but it is faster than the civic

ok, tonight while I was out driving I noticed a few Jettas driving around. Most of them were, in fact, chic cars. Personally I think the Jetta isn't all that bad, however a red one would definitely be more of a chic color. At least in the Jetta. Now if you had Silver or Black, that might not be so bad. But to answer your question no, I wouldn't trade it in - IMO the civic is much nicer than the VW.

On a side note, if anyone EVER asks if they should trade in their civic for a new Ford Focus, I will personally drive to wherever the hell you are and b¡tch-slap you, because you are a RETARD.

Anyways ...

is it a 2.0L or a 1.8T..if it's a 1.8T I'd go for it... As for Jette'as being a girls car.. well most folks say a civic is a girlie car...so who cares..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. but VW's are prone to elec problems.....whereas our7th gens aren;t prone to any problems whatsoever (please note an insane amont of sarcasm there)..

no matter how problem-plagued the 2k1 civics may be (i've seen VERY few complaints about the 2k2's, and I personally have had a total of 0), volkswagens are far worse, and their general customer satisfaction level is much lower than that of Honda's. also, I've heard horror stories about VW customer service several times worse than anything on this site about Honda's. you should also ask why the jetta is going for 4,000 under sticker?

If it makes you feel good, the Jetta is for Mexicans what the Civic is for Americans (almost an object of cult among young people). Not a girlie car at all south of the border.

BUT, if the Jetta is a 2.0 liter I definitely would not trade the Civic. The cheap Jetta doesn´t have power windows, CD, alloy wheels or sunroof. The bare bones Jetta costs as much as a Civic EX and between the EX and the Jetta the civic is way better and faster.

By the way, if you get the chance check on the last pages of the motor trend magazine, there you will see that the beetle and jetta 2.0 are the slowest cars in the US.

How the hell can you call a Jetta a girl's car, when you drive a damn CIVIC? Civic's are more known as being 'girl cars' than Jetta's are!

It is a GL 2.0 automatic. I didn't bother to even look at them because I just can't get used to Volkswagen Red. I kept looking at a red Golf in the Golf brochure that I have and I was getting nauseous from it. If it was a metallic ruby red, I could live with that, but not VW red. The $14,500 price tag was tempting, but I wait untill next years sale.

I tend to agree with you. Both of my sister-in-laws drive them as well as my sister. Demographically I think that the average Civic purchaser is a college aged FEMALE! Before purchasing my family car, the Jetta was my first choice except when I went to put the baby seat in the back, I couldn't put the seat all the way back. I would say I prefer the Jetta over my Civic, but I have to wonder why it is 4K below the invoice. Check the miles, make sure it was not a program car, or was not a lemon law return. What keeps a car in the "NEW" status is if it has been titled, not driven. Ask to see the invoice and verify it under the correct column. Make sure that you don't look beneath the MSRP bracket as both are shown on all the invoices.
