Used to see Passats, Jettas, Golfs and GTIs everywhere, hugely popular. Quirky, memorable TV ads too. More part of the culture somehow. Now you don't see or notice them much.

They had really good advertising back then.

Farfegnuggin (sp), that “da da dum” electronic music song etc.

Set them up as the quirky Euro brand as opposed to the Japanese borg and the corny heartland LIKE A ROCK domestics.

credited. i had pretty much the same thought a couple weeks ago but then suddenly started seeing/hearing about VWs everywhere including three different people saying they were buying jettas for their teenage daughters like it was 2003 again.

and then i saw some retarded zoomer in one of those late 90s beetles hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk today

It was always a car for poorer, striving whites on their way up. Now whites are either wealthy driving BMW or Tesla or permanently stuck in poverty driving Hyundai.

She picked it. She said she likes it because it’s understated and is a 3-row hybrid and isn’t enormous. I think it’s ok. Not really a value, though.

Now?? I remember paying a fortune to replace the o2 sensor in 240, and the catalytic converter was like $1000. Years later I had to replace the o2 sensor in a Sentra and it cost $17 OFF THE RACK at AutoZone, and that's when it hit me

My LS gf drove a stick Jetta. We had our first intense make out in one while listening to her Dave Matthews CD (which I made fun of and toward the end she disheveledly said “it’s not so bad, huh?” with a shiteating grin) and some people from our section knocked on the windows like dicks.

Anyway haha back to my August bills.

Nah it was 100% stock. Very tidy, too, which is impressive for a woman.

She tried to teach me to drive stick once and I just didn’t gaf.

She is white and was a workout nut. Was one of our downfalls - she wanted to spring out of bed at 5:45 am and workout and I was and am a night owl.

There used to be a nickname for women who drive Jettas but I forget it now. "Jetta-driving" something. I dated one once and the automatic door locks stopped working after she had it for 2 years
