I agree with Darqangelle in many ways. I do want to make one thing VERY clear though. I am a very big car-enthusiest. I love cars more than I can say about most things, which could be a bad thing, I suppose. So I do not want people thinking that I would buy a BMW for the “upper-class” type, “Hey, I am cool” looks. I would buy one because they are truely wonderful machines. Take for example these new BMW M3s (even though I am not considering one). They are putting out 333hp out of the factory, and get from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. That is quite impressive considering you can have 4 REAL people in the car with you. I know most of you are gonna say “Why would someone need to get a car from a standstill to 60mph in under 5 seconds?”…this is a very good question and I do not hate people for asking that. But I do have an answer. Serious car enthusiests (though I am only 17 I am budding into quite the automobile lover) say that driving a car like a BMW, Porsche or Ferrari is like an extension of their own will. They want to feel nearly a G pulling at their skin while rounding a courner. This, however, is not for everyone. BMWs also run for very long periods. There is a small club of people who have BMWs in one of the cities in my area, and some of these are from the early 80s and are stuill running like new. I love cars…
My uncle has a small exotic car dealership and they carry 2 or 3 BMWs at a time. This is where it all started for me. He drove me around in a Porsche Carrera a couple years back. We spent nearly 4 hours just driving the winding curves of the Blueridge Parkway. I love him for it. Although he wouldn’t let me drive (with good reason) I am a changed person for it. I love cars…
But, to get back on subject, I have been considering a Jetta for a while. They have great styling, and are pretty nice cars as well.
I was wondering, do you have any experience with the VR6s? I have heard many good things about these, and the never cease to amaze me with their price.
