2006 Volkswagen Jetta
This 2006 Jetta came as part of the “New Girlfriend Package” and technically I never owned it, but it was under my roof for quite a bit so I’ll claim it. It’s not the first time I’ve ended up with a car this way, but since I married this one I imagine it will be the last.
This was my first
Volkswagen, and one of only two I’ve had to date. It was what I would call “basic
transportation”, but it wasn’t bad for a simple car.
My wife bought this car new. Had she been dating me at the time it
probably wouldn’t have happened. That
said, I can see the appeal to a young engineer.
It was fairly reliable, had a low cost of ownership, and was economical
to boot (those are three qualities that I don’t typically rate important when
buying a car). She loved it though, and
named it Wendy!
Wendy hung around for a while, but ultimately my
stable of less reliable and less economical (but much more interesting) rides
won out and we agreed the Jetta was no longer needed. We sold her to a good home, and I turned my
wife into a car snob (her words, not mine).
