Few things interest me as much as one’s choice of vehicle. Given this important fact, my concern over my brother’s recently declared attraction to the VW Jetta is perfectly reasonable. Much like a parent who has grown concerned over the increasingly rash decisions of a wayward child, I feel a certain degree of familial responsibility in this matter. It is as though the spirits of dead cars would haunt my every waking moment if I were to hold my peace and permit this evil to go forward unchallenged.
The Volkswagen Jetta is a fine car. It also happens to be a girl car. Brother, you are not a girl. Therefore your car purchasing protocol on this particular model is quite simple: pass. If you don’t believe me, type in “is the jetta a girl car” in google and look at the tremendous number of discussions going on about this subject. I don’t care what your personal opinion is. The mere fact that there are so many debates on this topic should indicate that you are walking on dangerous ground.
Might I humbly suggest a 2006 BMW 328i? Checking in within the same price range as a VW Jetta, a used 3-series would handle better and do far less damage to your reputation! Now I understand if you’re worried about going with something used, if that’s the case then I’m going to just have to say that you’d be better served if you went with a new Nissan Altima or Mazda6.
There, I have done my duty as your younger brother. Your fate is in your hands, I’m washing my hands of the entire affair. You can get a Jetta if you want, but the sin be upon your head my brother.
