Kiadaw 6th Gear December 23, 2011 Share December 23, 2011 I had test driven both the Rabbit and the Jetta during my search for a VW car. From my limited experience, it seemed that the Rabbit is much much a better drive than the Jetta. I went in with an intention to buy the Jetta and end up I got a hatchback (Golf) even with the consideration that I may have a bigger family in time to come. Golf is ok if your family members are 4. 3 young kids is also ok. It kinda funny we Asians like our car big (not unlike Americans), but the big Europeans like Dutch & Germans can do with a small cars like the golf, the most popular car in Germany. 2m-ers but still no complains from driving small cars like Golf. But I think its not a big problem to drive bigger car (except Hummer or Range Rover), as the roads in Singapore are consistently wide. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic December 23, 2011 Share December 23, 2011 (edited) It is all about expectations and mindset I guess. It also very much depend on a person age. Someone in his 40s as compare to 30s or even younger higher chance of him going for the sedan than golf. Edited December 23, 2011 by Kopites Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porche 5th Gear December 24, 2011 Share December 24, 2011 New Jetta is very spacious and performance is excellent. Went up to KL in my friend's unit and we made it there and back on 3/4 tank of petrol, super economical. Downside to me is that the interior looks quite plain and boring. that's fuel saver better than my sushi van Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
