Thanks for sharing your opinion although your tact is lacking. You're now talking about cool and not driving fun. I suppose I'll follow your lead because the rebuff is too easy(I'm taking your bait for fun). What exactly makes them "suck", statistically speaking?
Surely not sales numbers or aftermarket following. If you disagree with that point then let me know and I'll provide the deets.
The more worldly-experienced members here know the early water-cooled VW's, although not Porsche, do offer a very German driving and ownership experience and have a very high popularity in "the scene". Saying they're not cool shows how very little exposure you have to them and the hordes of enthusiasts who care for them. If you don't like them personally then that doesn't make them not cool although you're entitled to your opinion. Learn and then respect. That's how it works. Disrespect and stuff head back in the sand is not how it works. I own each and I can appreciate one as much as the other.
Star Trek is cooler than Star Wars
Pepperoni Pizza is better than Cheese
BudLight is better than Heady Topper
MTV is better than VH1
Team Edward is better than Team Jacob
and so on...
You should be able to express your opinion without being childish and rude; if you don't have basis for your opinion other than just brand allegiance then be ready to hear reality from people who have real, wide-ranging experience beyond a stock Jetta in a state of disrepair that a college girlfriend of yours drove.
