Actually, if you don't mind the uncle car perception, you can also check out Renault Fluence. The engine & gearbox is taken from the previous Nissan Sylphy. So, no reliability issues.

You can check out their owners' forum. Almost no problem at all.

It has the safety, decent driving dynamics & space.

Also price is cheap due to discount.

Im owner of 2014 jetta.. twincharge engine.. dq200 dry clutch gearbox.. current mileage 93k.. so far claim warranty for change clutch once, mecha once, coil once..

I can say its pretty reliable.. current my car been use by my wife to travel outstation (Bangi-Jb). I can say 2 weeks once she travel.. she have Alza, but duwan to use. She prefer to drive my Jetta if going oustation.

If u talk about new jetta, with single charge engine, actually the maintenance cost is higher than the twincharge engine. Its using timing belt and need to change every 115k(according to book). The cost of changing the timing belt in SC is RM37++..

The highest cost for maintaining twincharge engine in SC is rm1700. (60k service).

After using my jetta for almost 4 years, i would like to say, i never regret buying this car..

This statement alone is enough reason to look for other models.. unless of course, u have no issue to spend that much just for maintenance.

Honda & toyota maintenance cost for major service is also similar. So, what's the fuss?

I've never seen a VW owner (I mean personal friends whom I really know) who don't curse VW.
