Designed by Mazda. in 1989 it would have actually been assembled by Kia. One of the better crap cans of the 80s, easily better than a Geo Metro

That's what I think too, so easy to work on.

>>17267058
I share it with my girlfriend and it gets driven enough already.

6 mile commute is nothing for a jetta

I'm so jealous of the non rust belt. I couldn't dream of having something like that without driving at least 300 miles out of rust central.

>being cucked out of your car by your girlfriend

Holy shit this is a new low. How many times a week does she fuck other dudes in the back of it?

>>17267073
Don't get me wrong my jetta is a great car, it's just be nice to have a second between me and the girlfriend.

>>17267082
It cherry man, always liked festivas my bro had one in high school and they are just so damn simple to work on

Yeah I bet she puts a lot of miles on it, with the frequent trips to Tyrone's trap house and all.

DO IT. Prepare for "old car" problems though
>cracked moldings
>rust spots that get bigger every time you look at them
>smell
>dust
>all parts ordered online
The list goes on. My cars are 1983, 1985, and 1993. Old cars can be cheap and cool but maintenance is special.

Yeah they definitely have their quirks but I barely ever see festivas since they just get scrapped it anything happens to them.

I had one when I was young. They're slow, loud, have paper-thin exterior panels and if you get into so much a 20 MPH fender bender you're likely in the hospital and your car is totaled. This car was a POS when it was new.

If all you want is a mile eater get a beat Tercel or Sentra, it'll be more reliable and you may survive a crash.

You raise a good point, they definitely aren't safe. I drove an Mr2 for a couple years and always felt a little sketch next to semis and big trucks

>>17267243
I've owned both and I NEVER felt unsafe in the MR, in the Festiva...constantly. I got into a 2 MPH tussle with a metal parking spacer in that thing - basically destroyed the entire quarter panel. Looked like someone had taken a can opener to it.

>>17267252
My commute is tiny but that is still something i'm legitimately worried about for sure

>>17266958
It's a solid shitbox. My dad has one in great condition and it's a great little putt around vehicle. Better than a geo metro.

Its his dads Jetta.

I kind of want to buy one to build into a Rallycross car. I love the short wheelbase 3-doors.

Isn't that what Jettas are made for?

>6 mile commute to work and don't wanna put miles on my jetta.
I really suggest you do the math and figure out how much that thing is really gonna save over your jetta. I mean your saying what? 12 miles a day for work, so about 3k miles a year are not going on the jetta. Now take into account you have to pay title papers, on this thing and possibly sales tax in your locale. So lets say $1300 out the door for this car and it costs another $150 yearly for insurance, tabs and maintenance.
$1450/3000
FOURTY-EIGHT CENTS A FUCKING MILE; what you'll be paying for the privilege of commuting in that POS for the first year w/o fuel or unexpected costs. ADD IN FUEL AND IT'S GONNA GO TO SIXTY CENTS A MILE FOR THE FIRST YEAR.

Buy your girl a buspass and drive your jetta,
