Another thing im concerned about is safty... i really like how vw builds there cars... very solid plus they handle well also.... (i also owned a 1.8t jetta at one point, inbetween my legacy and sti) shes really not conerned about interrior. so im not looking for the luxury or nething... basically heres the problem:

What is wrong with you people

It's a subaru board, you're going to get biased opinions.

Tell your gf to shut the f up.. get her a ****ty crapelier and go away

Reliability at that price point means Japanese - not so much German. I'm not a VW hater - I had a '97 Jetta GT 2.0 -- it was a great little car - but by and large - maintenance issues on a $5000 VW will quickly become expensive and troublesome.

Try an older Mazda Protege or Nissan Sentra -- they handle well and have reasonable power-to-weight ratios.

intpostman23 · 12-27-2005, 11:49 AM

Used M3. It's the best car ever.

Anub1s · 12-27-2005, 11:51 AM

And miss punctuation frequently as well.

Just buy her a damn used Legacy or something if you want AWD.
