Jetta cost 149k.

1)Is it really worth that much for a C class sedan?
2) Is it comparable to BMW 3 series and Mercedes C class?
3) It seems to use the same chassis as Polo Sedan
4) Yes, its got tsi, its got dsg but its a bit small for a 149k car

not sure if trolling or really stupid...

simple answer: NO

Look if you really want to call yourself stupid..be my guests.

Anyway, do yuo have some kind of smart arsse disease?

Those questions are not stpud.

How dare say I am trolling?

If this is your only car, then i suggest Civic. For me Altis is nothing impressive, the common dashboard look and exterior just make me fell meh. Stay away from VW as the SC are limited and VW DSG are known for it issues, but if you already have other car, this is your perfect choice in this 3 choices. I say that coz whenever u have issue with the Jetta, it will take days, weeks or month for the part and fixes. For reliability is either T or H as part and SC availibility is widely available.

1)its CBU that pay high tax, up to 200%. rm20k more than the locally assembled C segment non-national. This shd be a question of whether worth paying for high tax in CBU form.
2) Audi A4 is comparable to BMW 3 series and Mercedes C class.
3) It derived fr Golf platform, not polo.
4) this is direction injection/Twin charged downsized engine, super n turbo charged. Dual clutch Transmission. Toyota is on its way in this downsizing route but will tk yrs b4 we get it. TSI n DSG is the benchmark today.

I see so the Jetta is actually a sedan version of the golf.

I have test drive the following cars:

1. Ford Focus 2012( Not to bad got a lot of gadgets but the drive was not as good as I expected)
2. Civic (Not too bad)
3. Altis (Mehhhhhh- previous drive of a 05 model)
4. Slyphy (Not bad)
5. Golf ( NICE!!!)
6. Lexus CT200H (Not too bad but cabin area too small for me, not much vroom)
7. Elantra( Nice shape, but on test drive car cannot start have to change car)
8. Optima( Wow like Korean girl dem chun, not bad drive but not as smooth as expected)
9. Forte ( Nice looks, good drive but handling like a bit wobbly)
10. Jetta
11. Peugeot 308 and 408... okay la i expected more..

Needless to say I decide on the Jetta, among all the cars I have driven I did my research. The Jetta was the best for me as it give me what i want. Simplicity and good power. I had a 10K discount at WV TTDI. So booked it right away. So addicted to the feel.

Just go test drive all the cars. Once you find something you like you will buy it. Its like spending a bit more for the girl you always wanted. Nothing comes without problems. Yes I read a lot about the DSG and TSI but do you know how they drive. Some of these fellas dont take care of the car and drive without brains.

Once you pass that limit, any car also kaput la. Look at F1, have to change engine also right. I am not claiming that Jetta is the best car. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Jetta is a very girl next look. The K5 is like a one hot Korean girl you see on TV. So its up to you. So depends on what you like la..it is all up to you..

I believe in like for like comparison. Japan cars Vs Japan cars and conti VS conti. In that way i feel can make a better comparison.

Across the board, Jap cars are cheaper to maintain. Korean are comparable. Conti dont need to say la. But there is something in the conti i cannot get in the Japan and vice versa.

In a level playing field, the VW Jetta is the same range as the BMW 3 and Merc C class but it is not there la.. It is the mid range version of the superior brands.


Just FYI

The Jetta does come with DRLs just not LED DRL. The MK6 version of the Jetta is build and designed from ground up not an extension of the Golf. You can add a touch screen radio for RM 900(RCD510).

The TSI and DSG issues that you read and heard about applies more the the first batch of Golf 1.4 TSi. After that there are less issues as VW rectified it from the plant level.

Please dont flame me this are my view I am open for healthy discussion.

Most of it comes with the cruise control.

Blurry D, where you found the touch screen for 900 bucks. Im getting a jetta this month and im thinking of getting the touchscreen.. The ones i saw in the net are arnd 2k.

Jetta same range as BMW 3 Series and Merc C Class?

Over and over again u continue to baffle me with your totally incorrect assumptions. If u (and the other fool) had cared to read my post carefully u would easily have realised that i wasnt refering to my current ride in clocking the 12K km a month.

over and over again u baffled me even more with your total ignorance.
if u being the fool like u are, had care to read between the lines, this is sarcasm...
