Not all guys driving those cars have a choice. I have a Jeep Wrangler and my wife is the one with the Volkswagen Passat, but as the child seat is in the Passat I'm usually stuck driving it. Still, it handles pretty damn well, good mileage, and we've never had any problems with it in the 4 years we've had it. My wife had a Jetta for a few years before she traded it for the Passat, and that was a car that always had little things going wrong with it...
