Title: Is the Mk5 GTI a girly car?
Post by: Egbutt Wash on 24 September 2008, 11:52
Someone asked on the Manx Forum if the Ford Ka is a girly car.  The answer is, despite having great handling and steering, Yes.

The standard GTI looks far too macho with a two day stubble on it's front and mean matt black two tone sides and bumper.  A man's car in my book.

It is by no shape or form girly! Utter tosh! The power it does have is appeal to both sexes, but its def not a "girly" car!

I saw Liv ~Tyler drive a GTI in The Incredible Hulk so I think the GTI has a universal appeal.

girly?  :shocked:
The car is like a house, first of all. Secondly, design is nowhere near girly.
Thirdly, I cannot imagine a woman coming to her boyfriend/husband and saying. "Buy me a Golf, please". It will rather be: "Buy me a TT/BMW/big jeep etc, please".

I don't think that it is either a masculine or feminine car.  It appeals to both, it is practical for both and is just so good looking that anybody looks good driving one!  There are cars that are "bloke" cars and "girl" cars, but I seriously don't think the Golf is one of them.



Thirdly, I cannot imagine a woman coming to her boyfriend/husband and saying. "Buy me a Golf, please". It will rather be: "Buy me a TT/BMW/big jeep etc, please".

In our house I tell HIM that I'm buying a new Golf  :evil:.

right about color
I think women (most of them anyway) are not keen on white. It gotta be black, or maybe blue...

I think mainly a blokes car but if you see a woman in a GTI you know (well you hope) she knows a thing or two as she choose a decent car ;)  When the wife takes mine to work lots of guys have commented on it.

The car that is most definatley a girls car - Beetle

Yep, your right Joe. My missus loves white cars, same can be said for all her mates. I get good comments about the colour of my car whenever I am giving her mates lifts. Everyone seems to be going nuts for white cars in England at the moment.

i heared before that a "woman's car" in a designer's eyes must have a mirror on the driver's sun visor, for obvious reasons, if not its deffinatly a man's car.
however the gti's have these and im sure alot of other cars like an evo or skyline must, so it's probably a myth :shocked:

the wife loves the golf on White, but isn't keen on White in other cars, she prefers nice blues

Ps who cares if it's a womans car?, I see alot of women driving normal mk5 golfs but not Many in gti's

well, first of all, you give them FREE lifts, so of course they comment on the car
secondly, you give them FREE lifts in a "pocket" ROCKET!  :cool:

I guess it is all sampling error - most girls I met prefer black or maybe blue...

Russian vodka is THE best. (Of course, you should buy in real shops).
Try Kedrovaja, Rshanaja, Putinka, or, if not these, then Russian Standard. Compare these to awful Swedish Absolut.
Don't knock down real Russian vodka until you try it.
Take my word for it, I am Russian who lived half of my life in Sweden.  :smiley:

And Russian women really like and expect a man to court, buy flowers, presents, take them to restaurants and pay for it. WHen money is there, buying a car for the woman is nothing unusual.
I have some European male friends who could not handle their Russian girlfriends because of high demands (flowers etc). "High-maintenance" it is called. On the other hand they all commended them for their femininity, attention, devotion, and love.

Russian women are difficult to handle, but they are the best in the world!
Ukrainians are even better looking, but they are too sly for their own good.  :smiley:

It depends on the driver, obviously looks are subjective.

to call the mk5 GTi girly is like going up to Chuck Norris and saying , you remind me of a barbie doll.
