I don't think that they are a chick car but I see quite a few girls driving them around here.

Why are you so worried about "Girl cars?" Drive what you like.

I think the GTi is as far from a girls car as it gets. I have a 97 Driver's Edition VR6 and I love it. I'm not as big on the MK4 chassis as the MK3, but it is still a great car.

the girls car idea comes from there being so many unmodded veedubs being driven by chicks...
let your friends tell you its a chick car, then take all their chicks from em w/ it...
and then blow their doors off w/a torquey 204 hp...
people who talk that shiet do it b/c they dont own it...
im sure the vw sport cabrio was not a chick car, especially after the vr6 swap w/a six spd and 18s...

and to quote rage against the machine...
a line to your friends...

"fuck you i wont do what you told me"

What kind of stupid statement is that... the 2002 1.8T puts out about 180 hp, and with some mods, you can pull out lots more power.. And who cares if its an automatic... Are you saying automatics cant be fast? If you are you dont know much about cars.

No way I a GTI a girls car, unless she can handle all that power......I have a 95 Golf3 GTI VR6......with 172 stock horse power and with endless engine and other upper grade, a GTI can reach up to 300+ horses......

Hmmm, a 4 valve, DOHC VR6 with 204 hp, a 6 speed stick, and big wheels. If this is a girls car, then there must be NO men with Corvettes! This is a little corker of a car, and if you like it, get it! (Although I would go for a WRX, but thats just me)

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.

Who ever calls that car a "girls car" I need to have a word with you. That car not a girls car. Now a white 80's cabrio with a black is a "girls car". Dude that 2K2 GTi is the ish. That car is mean as hell. I would rock that car all the way to Japan and spit on the Honda headquaters in that car and feel pround!!!! Peace.

Bassik,
you said you decided to buy one. Have you bought one already? I thought they went on sale in March or something.

2002 or 2003, hmm, I think it will go another year and a half or so, at least.
