If choose between this 2 cars, would rather go for the passat.

Don't buy the lowest spec car, just makes you feel worse off despite the badge being BMW. 318 just feels barebones, fitting for those just wanting for the badge but on a tight budget.

But, go test drive and see which one suits your heart. After all, your money, your call

Passat no doubt. U already have experience with jetta so you would be familiar with passat. The 2.0 tsi engine really pulls well

Else wait for the new Peugeot 508

Thank you all for the inputs and feedbacks. I have made my decision to go with VW instead. Although there is some noise with the BMW 330e M Sport Demo car with huge discounts that are priced at rm200k, (promising) but i opt for VW becuase of not fancy the hybrid/battery option.

Passat 380tsi for sure.

Get 318i only if you mau gaya je.

380tsi is using the DQ250 6-speed wet-type DCT which is way more reliable than DQ200.

Great choice. How much discount you get for 2.0 HL?

Around RM183k OTR (with 55% NCD) with RM17k discounts

Bmw for 5 years warranty and free service

Yup that is the good selling point but VW do give 3yrs free service with 5yrs warranty too. Total around rm4k extra for tbe 2 extra services

passat b8, more practical, spacious, quicker & comfortable.
BMW 3 series is everywhere, and 318i is like entry level only, not worth at all
