Maybe I misrepresented what she was looking for exactly. She wants a very practical car, but also grins her *** off when she drives something sporty. So that's why the GTI and GLI were right up her alley. Also, she's not at all just some "girl" she's actually an engineering major at GT and knows a bit about mechanics, but maybe not about actually working on cars.

She could tell which cars were built well and which ones were trash (Scion tC...) We're not decided yet, but the comments on VW's have us a little worried. She's still a way away from making a purchase, so we're probably gonna drive everything that's been mentioned so far. That should be a good pool of cars to choose from.
