The new DSG does not have the jerking issue no more.. it has improved and its a better drive. All you need to do is go back to the SC and ask them to update the software. All done.

Korean cars are like Korean girls, pretty but some of them are fakes. German cars are like the girl next door, not very pretty but cute enough to give you a boner.

Anyways it is up to you on what you want to have. Pretty girls or girl next door... i am more of a girl next door person so I own a Jetta.

I agree. There is DRLs for the Jetta just that it is not LED only.. but you can change it for like RM300 plus..

Yes. I just bought a Jetta and it has DRLs.. Original...but unfortunately it is not LEDs....

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.
