Question our gf's/significant other's car

curious what the boss drives, my lady has a POS 2003 volkswagon jetta. horrible car that has common problems with radio, a/c unit removed, windows fell off track one day driving down the road, both shattering in her doors. She getting rid of the beast this christmas, we are, well she is looking for something sweet and fun to drive, either leasing or buying. The jetta was a EXPENSIVE monthly car payment, and her parents didn't seem to know any better, kinda cool when you don't care how bad your getting ripped off, but now i am in charge of finding a ride for her, so what do you guys think, he is tall, about 5'10 slender, she likes the lexus, she eye's the g35 coupes. Rx330 would be kickin wing, so any suggestions, and please chime in on the ladies rides

Past three had:

- Mitsubishi Eclipse GST
- Toyota Corolla
- Honda Civic EX

I think after the GST, I started going for girls with econoboxes

Bryan, I've seen a few late model GS's for sale in the Lexy/Cincy area (I was looking for one shortly). You should help her out withone of those. My old lady is rolling the '97 ricer accord. Ever since I blew up her mustang two years ago.

Knock on wood here, my gf drives a 2002 Jetta, could be a 2003, not sure. So far no problems, just had to refill her windshield washer reserve tank and patch her tire since it had a nail in it. Car only has about 5K miles though and my gf is happy with it. I got to drive it the other night since she was too tired to drive, I can only say it made me appreciate my car even more.

The girlfriend now drives a 98 Lexus G400 in Spectra Blue Mica. We had her 2000 Cougar coming off lease / being turned around February. Then my credit union sent me something saying buy a car before the end of the year and we'll give you 3.49% for up to 72 months. So I flew to Chicago and flew back in a 2002 C32 AMG. So now she's "pimpin" in the Blue GS400 w/ 18" SSR Competitions. Once we unload the Cougar our garage will be looking sweet with the AMGS combo in there.

I really want to help get my fiancee a new car but it's save money time instead. So I've been driving her '95 Civic Sedan and she's been driving the GS for a change to try to keep the "new car bug" in check. Hopefully we'll be switching back soon?

My girl drives a brand new Jeep Liberty, pretty nice. It drives nice but nothing like the Lex but good for her with AWD.
