How to properly lift mk4 Jetta GLI?

Can anyone please tell me how to lift this damn car properly? I just bought a craftsman jack and I‘m already angry because the car is so low that the jack doesn‘t fit underneath. Now I have to use the crappy scissors jack that came with the car. When i lift the car im having trouble placing the jack stands because the front driverside lift point is right in front of the area thats recommended to placing jack stands on. Please someone give me some advice because this days going all wrong.

Answer:

scissor jacks are not that crappy when you got to change a flat tire. Place the jack stands near the tire on the suspension s for me. Or start again and drive the car up onto 2 2x6 blocks (like a mini ramp) which raises the car another 3 and the craftsman jack will fit under it. That is why you are suppose to have a floor hoist or a pit so you can work on the car from the underside.
