It is difficult not to retaliate when someone is abusive. Being an open forum, self censorship is quite important. My golden rule is don't reply to anything abusive or uncomfortable. Not too long ago, I was being enticed to reply. I know this guys attitude and many ppl have commented on it. I am always willing to share ideas for the sake of learning, but that wasn't his idea. I just refrain my self, no matter what he said! It will die down if you don't reply.
Jetta's promo price does make it tempting. You should test drive both cars and make the comparison, which is what I did. Transmission appeared quick, but car was not as planted as 408t at corners. Finally i dropped the Jetta for the following reasons:
1. Instrumental panel/dashboard appeared outdated to me. Infact this actually put me off and I only tested the car on my 2nd visit. Pug interior has an interesting French flair. Low waist line gave better visibility and sports car feel.
2. Slight body roll on fast corners, but still considered good road holding. 408t sports tuned suspension makes a whole lot of difference to provide better stability on fast corners! The rear especially is a complex setup that is usually only on sports & performance cars. Many times I'd only realise it's a salon when I get out of the car, after some twisty, spritted long distance drive!
3. Fabric seat covers
4. Infamous DSG transmission.
5. A bit Proton like looks, of course this is subjective!
I'm sure WV fan boys will come in screaming. But this is a Pug thread, my intention is not to bash WV, it's only my point of view & reasons why I chose the Pug over WV. No offence meant!
The only thing impressed me was the acceleration. But I'm not comfortable with their dsg till date.
I'll stick to the pug. Will keep you guys updated!
