i'm in dilemma too.

civic
pros
- good resale value
- parts are everywhere and cheaper and no waiting time
- reliable
cons
- CKD and overprice
- heard saying that when rains, the roof sounds like milo tin
- FC not as good as twincharge

Jetta
pros
- good FC & NVH
- good torque and comfortable

cons
- reliablility is questionable in the long run
- no resale value
- parts are expensive and need to wait to import
- maybe expensive to maintain after the 5 years warranty
- overprice?

please help to list down any other things?

Civic hybrid, CBU, not over price, FC very good..

Jetta- Overprice.. Yes.. almost every single VW car is over price here..

my choice would be Jetta....
Pros to me
1. superb handling compared to other C- segment sedans
2. great engine low end torque... for daily slow driving not only speeding
3. good FC
4. Rear Air-con


Cons for me;
1. no leather seat (leather should be standard)
2. no led drl headlights (can replace with aftermarket)
3. less accessories that don't really matter but nice to have ...push start, reverse camera, HID headlights, touchscreen radio etc...

if you want to enjoy your driving with a smile (as mentioned in youtube review), get a Jetta
if you want a super duper full spec car and 1 size bigger, get a K5
if you want resale value, get Altis or Civic (VW's RV is not that bad though)

i thought we are talking buying in malaysia tongue.gif

american market not same like us lah ... jetta there, is cheaper spec to compete with altis, civic... if I'm in america resale value will not concern me at all... just get the best car you can buy

did i ever mention Lexus or BRZ in my comment?? I thought were talking jetta, Altis, Civic....... plzzzzz...... don't think your Asean CKD/Thai assembled Toyota is same quality as fully imported Lexus & BRZ.... brows.gif

again you're missing the point Toyota Fanboy.... the topic IS COMPARING JETTA, CIVIC & ALTIS. can't you read?? rclxub.gif
Jetta is the same size category with Altis & Civic, even though more expensive. But with year end discounts it is such a deal compared to the other two
Can also compare with Camry if you want, since price closer... Jetta has better handling and power than Camry tongue.gif

it is just a fact that, most M'sian buyers don't want to take RV "risk" with other brands... so they stick with T & H
I'm not blaming them for that, but they lose on the driving experience

if you are able to change your mentality of "resale value is most important" when buying a car.....there are a lot of better cars out there. eg VW, Ford, Peugeot.. so enjoy the drive rclxm9.gif

Msian drivers hv to take servicing experience into consideration as well, the parts availability, reliability of engine/gearbox, cost of maintenance etc tongue.gif

you missed my point. americans has all the cheap cars available to them, yet toyota is one of the best selling, no, vw is not selling very well there, yes, of cos you will say they are stupid ppl and should not be made a benchmark.

and to prove that you are not making a point, calling ppl fanboy makes your argument not valid.
i do not have any toyota, before this and currently, so you can keep quiet.

driving experience. lol. well, to be frank, not many ppl know what is that. driving dangerously or driving fast?

you bought a new car, and you come here to trash the other brand. wow, either you regretted or you are some.... kind of guy that bought a new shirt and didnt remove the price tag?

yes, the lexus and ae86 argument is valid.
you bought a bmw, and you think ppl buying lexus are looking at resale value.
you bought a megane RS, and you think ppl buying toyota 86 are looking at resale value.
you bought a vw, and you think ppl buying toyota are looking at resale value.

cannot brain?

no worries, enjoy your vw. and remember to remove the plastic seat cover.
