The jetta is a good car and not bad value considering VW build their cars really well. Major problem would be it is a fair bit smaller than a mondeo/new mazda 6 - is she after diesel or petrol, and also what size? I mean if you want a car that is bigger than a lancer than i wouldn't think a jetta is much bigger at all is it? Also, depends on budget i suppose, after all, if you don't mind a wait a mondeo XR5T would have to be tempting in this case would it not?

She's happy with the size of the lancer (short girl so it's not gonna bother her), the only things that she defenetly wants is that it looks good (to her), is a manual, has a boot (she was in an accident with a hatch and doesn't trust them). She could have ordered an XR5T on Friday but $48k drive away is a bit high for a mid sized Ford. She was happy with the look of the base model (would just option a sunroof and driving lights) but due to fact that you couldn't buy it in a manual stopped her from buying it that day.
