Here's my new baby. I got such a great deal on her, but now she needs a name. Post your ideas here!

Just some stats about it that contradict the photos...

1995 VW Jetta III
167,000 kms
Got it for $4000 Canadian

Any other VW owners out there? And please, no horror stories yet, I'd like to enjoy this feeling of having a new car for a while yet, lol.

what engine does it have in it? I'm assuming vr6?

DEI37 · 06-01-2005, 04:16 AM

Most likely, it's a 2.0. There was a Canadian 1.8, too, so it could be either one of those. The grille is lacking VR6 badging, so I highly doubt that it's the six cylinder. Could be a diesel, I suppose, but those usually have TDI badging on the grille.

Church · 06-01-2005, 05:12 AM

Nope, not a VR6. Runs on gas,

I love my Jetta! I have a 1990 and I still get around 40 mpg on the highway!

Mine is named Sally!

Mondak · 06-01-2005, 08:52 AM

I would go for the alliteration unless something jumps out. How about Janica?

Rippley · 06-01-2005, 12:55 PM

Brunhilde.... That's what I named my '94 Golf 1.8...but then, there was a lot of beer involved in that decision...

You've got the right idea. I've always been taught that you take the first letter of the model of your car, and that becomes the first letter of the car's name, and it has to be feminine. So with a Jetta, you could have Janie, Julie, Jasmine, Judy, Juniper, etc.
That's just the way I've always gone about naming my cars.

JStrider · 06-01-2005, 03:32 PM

i named my car Bertha

but she's big and slow so it fits i think...

optik_nerve · 06-14-2005, 12:08 PM

I've got a Black 97' Jetta named Bella.

Only 90,000 miles and awesome condition...just need dents taken out and a new paint job.

Get about 30 to the gallon. I love it.

Scorps · 06-15-2005, 01:38 PM

They got a crap load of aftermarket stuff for them cars. Seen one in town all done up looks sexy.

j8ear · 06-15-2005, 03:38 PM

How about calling it your "Jetta Knight?"

Oldie but a goodie I think.
