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

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....

again you're missing the point Toyota Fanboy.... the topic IS COMPARING JETTA, CIVIC & ALTIS. can't you read??
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

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

agree with that Bro... I missed those out in my earlier comments

well, you read between the lines of my comments too much Bro... and made a lot of assumptions from my simple one line comment on RV

my opinion only about the RV in when choosing between the 3 models...

doesn't mean it is the same case for lexus/bmw/AE86 etc..

nevermind, lets just stick to topic comparing the 3 models hehehe
