VW Jetta

[Beng2]

Compared to a Jap 1.6litre car, I think the FD4 will smoke me at the traffic lights

 

The 2.0T model is indeed a sleeper car but I have an aversion to spending >$100k for a car.

[Heckers]

petrol prices going up! blow here blow there, wallet suffer only......let em donate to the gahment not u!

[Beng2]

True. Was washing my car at a MSCP juz now. Saw an Evo being driven in the carpark with "loud pissing sound" . Must be burning petrol like hell, but to do that in an MSCP?

 

He was going so fast and hiong, you would think there was a MSCP rally

talk about car with soul ...... look at the serpent ..... by the way, I'm not driving a serpent, me driving the poor VAG cousin ....

spoken like a fellow conti driver..

 

I concur

It's ok to drive in that car for a sprint but for long distance, oh my, the hear and butt is going to suffer.. Think i'm getting old

[Beng2]

I concur

I now realise what I have missed all this while. The first things people comment on my car are: high FC lah, high maintenance la, low reliability lah...

What they don't know is the shiok feeling each time I close my door and crank the engine. Driving has become so much enjoyable now.

Somehow, I am still having phobia getting an Italian car or French one. I have no doubt the former will bring a wider smile to the driver.

Is the 1.6 Jetta using FSI engine?

[Sony]

actually not really high FC.. but must see which conti..

 

High maintenace? Compare some of our regular servicing with those at C&C .. see which is cheaper..

 

as for low reliablity, I have to say it really depends on the mood of the people working on that day. Sad to say, the Japz win in this aspect.

 

Anyway, welcome to the world of conti

Is the 1.6 Jetta using FSI engine?

Nope. It's using the old 8-valve engine. Old but reliable, which is more impt to me.

High maintenace? Compare some of our regular servicing with those at C&C .. see which is cheaper.. My actual first tank FC was 11.8km/l. Not bad, I must say. Maybe the factory fitted Michelin Energy tyres help.

 

Maintenance wise, i feel should be equal or less than a typical Japanese car AD's cost. When I factor in the 15k km interval between servicing, I guess it helps a lot too.

[Chrysalis_guy]

it looks smaller than the passat.

[Blackhorsebl]

Agreed

[AhmadK]

it looks smaller than the passat.

 

if compare jetta's performance to the passat, what's your opinion?

here's the general opinion: http://www.newcars.com/volkswagen/jetta/re...gen-passat.html

 

i need to take them for a drive back to back then only can tell. but jetta is more fuel efficient than Passat it seems

[ggh]

Today just secure my first Volk (a Jetta) COE and collection on Christmas Eve.

 

Hope I did make a good choice
