There is no such thing as a girls car. I see as many women as men driving 911s around the bay area. Does this mean they are a chick car? If you see a woman driving the same car as you you should be flattered. OK there is a difference between "chick" and woman and that is that the chick mostly has a lower income than a woman (or man) so the car a rich female drives differs due to the price range they can afford. So a rich man drives a luxury sedan/convertible, a richer man drives a high performance car such as the 911 GT2, a rich female drives a luxury sedan/convertible and a richer woman drives a boxter or a 911 cab or as I see here around the bay area some drive 911 Turbos :licker:
As a former GTI VR6 owner I can say go and buy one if you like the car. One of the reasons I ditched my GTI was that the customer service quality you get from the dealers around here sucks. I do not want to create another label for the GTI but another reason was the fact that I am getting old, I no longer belong in a Golf

I think the last Car and Driver listed the 0-60 for the 2k2 1.8T (I purchased one last October or so  ) around 6.5, and the quarter mile at 15.3.
I'm not sure how realistic those are in day to day driving consitions, but there is some kick in the turbo at 1700 - 1800 RPM's or so when I drive around town normally.

Autos can be fast, but they arent as fast as stick-shifts. Not by a long shot. If they were, than F1, CART, NASCAR, IRL, etc, etc, wouldnt use sticks, they would use slushboxes. So there.

Autos are alot better in 1/4mile with high hp high dispacement cars.
F1 CART IRl does NOT use stick-shfts. F1 is electronically controlled sequencial 6 or 7 speed gears. CART and IRL uses similar set up as motor cycle sequential gear box with machanical linkage. Nascar uses traditional 4 speed "stick shift". One of the Can-Am car back in the day used 3 speed auto.

GTI girls car????
Hey!!!
I don't think the GTi is a girls car because I actually see more and more girls drive Jetta's instead of GTi's.
But anyway there is no such thing as a girls car, any car could be a girls car, even a Ferrari Modenna!!!!! or a Huge GMC truck!!!!!
I'll let anybody who thinks that a GTi is a girls car, sink into there tiny little brains...
PEACE !!!

the girls situation
you poeple who believe that some one can not handle the power of a car because of there gender are way out in left field. We as men are more careless on the road as gender, hence the higher insurance rates. A woman who drives more cautiously and has a cheaper insurance is said to be unable to handle a cars power .
Next time you get into the gas look over at your girlfriends face and eye's and see she's excited but scared because there not in control just like any other passenger. I own a 87' euro gti suspension and exhaust tricked out but engine and intake mostly stock saving for a syncro 1.8t shell but it will do 220 kmh easy my girl dig going to the nurnburg ring just as much as i do on the weekends hell couple more weeks of going down there she'll be close to my lap time. A Gti is a car who is loved by many Men Woman chick dude and what ever you want to call them but come over her and you'll see many females blowin' your door's off on the outbahn.

my experience has left me to conclude most girls suck at drivng. i just graduated and there were a large majority of girls who crashed the brand new car daddy bought them within a months time sometimes repeatedly; of course the were a few guys but nothing to compare to the girls. :smoka:

We only think we are better drivers than girls.
When girls crash, they crack a bumper, or knock over a garbage can.
When boys crash, the steering wheel is usually the only good part left.

Girls car? Im sorry, but being a "girl" I feel I should defend us women on this one. There is no such thing as a "boy" car or "girl car" You make it what you want to make it. I've seen plenty of very nice cabrios fixed up, and driven by men. And some very nice GTIs fixed up and driven by women. I drive a 2L 16v A1 GTI with all the works, or how about my lowered A2 GTI ... "girly"?, yea, cause I made them what they are, but theres nothing funner than giving the "boys" a good spankin' when they need it. I'm sorry but if your nervous that your buddies are gonna tease you for driving a "girls" car, try to gain a wee bit more self confidence and make it yours.

heh
I'm a girl and I drive a 202hp gti vr6, and I don't think its a typical girl car. Plus its fun to race all the boys in their eclipse's just to roll down the tint and smile.. they love that.. their expressions are priceless
But yeah, all the girls in salt lake drive silver civics with roxy stickers on the back, sometimes they get crazy and buy a vtec prelude or something, but most of us aren't running around begging daddy for a gti, we're a small few. so yeah, i wouldn't worry about your friends, they want your car.
