eh, the sales guy for VW is not bluffing you.

The TSi engine is really power. The Polo is powered by 1.2L Tsi, I think it can go 0-100kmh in 6 sec. Whats more surprising it is fuel saving too.

Jetta is a nice car, but I won't spend RM140k over an average class sedan.

Hoho, don't buy the Altis, it sucks. I compared the 2.0G Altis to the Polo Sedan 1.6 and guess what? The Polo Sedan 1.6 beats the Altis anytime. I step hard on the Altis during test drive, by the time it reach 100kmh, the RPM was 5000-6000. Whereas, the Polo is smooth, step hard at 100kmh, the RPM was mere 2000-3000. This is the wonder of german technology. Interior is super ugly, plasticky looking. Not worth my RM123k.

As for the Civic, its ok lah. When I test drove it, it felt fine. The dashboard is nice, the digital speedometer is cool. Only thing was that I struggled with the paddle shift. But I think waiting list for Civic is a bit longer, for hybrid is worst - 6 months. Plus don't expect any discount for Civic.

Anyway, you should not compare Jetta with Altis and Civic because Jetta is of a better class. Should compare Accord, Camry to Jetta.

You should also check out Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata and this very very cool care Ford Focus. Ford Focus has all the tech but dunno why it hasn't caught on in the msian market.

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?
