Just came back from the test drive.
 
I test drove a 1999 Mustang V6 /w 5spd manual. Boy, was it hard to drive!!! The first impression it gave me is you have to be tall to handle this car well. I'm 5ft 4", the driving position is just not that comfortable, maybe I'm just not used to it.

There was no used 2000/2001 Jetta in town, so I'm gonna drive back to Seattle to test drive the Jetta, and do some more test drive on the Mustangs, and make a decision tomorrow.

I have a question, do you have to be tall to handle this car???

Well anyway, wish me luck.

It may take getting used to. I got in mine right away and drove it but im 6'3", Ive probably driven 5000+ vehicles so I may be a tad more adaptive to driving positions than you.
lol

My girlfriend is 5'3" and the few times she has driven my car she didn't have any problems once she moved the seat up. Granted she probably moved it up all the way.

my mom is 5 2....lol...
she is pretty comfortable in it....she moves it all the way forward and bout half way up...lol
im already 62 and i think it is very comfortable all the way back

look buddy...

whatever you decide... DONT GET A JETTA...

i drove a buddy's 02 1.8L stock 5psd Jetta... It had NO BALLS... the thing was soooo slow that it made timmy fromm south parks wheel chair seem like a ferrari...

Its pointless to buy one with intentions of makin it quick... it'll cost too much and still wont be THAT quick...

I'd rather rock roller skate than drive another jetta...

I,m 5'6" and I dont have any problems. Dont wast your money on a v6 (its a girls mustang anyway) get a V8 its the only way to go.

Saleen S330 05-14-2006 05:31 AM

yeah, you drove the V6 now try the V8, you'll be driving it home after that. and my wife is 5'4 and she has no problem with my car.

The guy is looking at a Jetta vs a V-6 Mustang. I am sure he has his own reasons for not considering a GT.

dont make that mistake, If you like the v6 well go for it, but try looking for a 99 GT
