I like my car, even if it's not up to the non-

standards.
For what it's worth:
I hate the cupholders. They're the crappiest excuses in the world for cupholders. Barely holds a 12 oz can, they're so stuffed up under the dash.
I hate that the shifter is like stirring a wooden spoon in a bag of pretzels.
I hate that the power door lock button is on the dashboard.
I hate that the rear window buttons are on the dashboard while the front ones are on the door.
I hate how the headlights are sealed-beam rather than clear lens reflective.
Alternatively:
I love the handling.
I love that it's a 5 speed.
I love how the spoiler fits the form of the car without looking gaudy.
I love getting 350 to a tank of 87 gas. In the city.

I love that I can close/open all the windows and the sunroof by turning the key in the door.
Yeah, it's a quirky car. Some things confuse the crap out of me about it. But once again, chicks seem to dig Jettas just like they did a minivan.

So yeah, I see some of your points as far as

ing about it. But it doesn't make me like the car any less.
