@Sissypoo 

Let me chip in my cents worth.

Guess ,I noe where u are going with dis .

U feel are stuck in dis Jazz for quite a while & maybe u got a pay increase or perhaps a promotion & reckon u wans to try sumthing across the pond ,away from the usual.

Dat is so natural ,dats progression for me 

U probably come out with a Golf after many research ( I hope)but I would like to throw in another Brand  for yr consideration.

Let’s get straight.

I am a Mercs fan boy & owns many but I bought a Beetle ,say 2 years ago ,cos it’s my wife’s Dream car( who isn’t).

I noe  it’s slightly different from a Golf but here it goes.

I have no x’perience with VW , Nvr owns one but done my Research ,not realli keen on dis one but it’s for my other half

so well ……..

It drives beautifully ,the suspension is Veri comfortable  ,the Double clutch is sublime ,it have ,I think onli 105 horse power but it feels pretty sprightly.

Deep down ,I am veri aware of it’s reliability ,Mechatronic & everything.

Keep hearing thise stuff ,I am always looking to swap it over for a Merk.

After a year Fling on the VW ,i trade in for a A200,always fancy the Look of dis.

Its a W176 to be precise,in case u guys ask what year, one?

There’s no getting round it,I am Basically Biased ,there’s No comparison btw M and V in the reliability stakes ,Hard to believe Mercs spare parts are unbelievable decent.

The entry Level Baby Mercs rides is a tad stiff ,actually most modern Mercs are ,nowadays.

Their DCT are slower than the DSG ,Guess dats abt all .

The Fit & Finished are a better than the Jazz & most, it’s solidly built.

U open the Bonnet & the Boot,u can realli feel the weight,the Heft.

The Mercs interior is Veri nice & the Quality u can realli  feel ,in Australia ,dey called the A,B,CLA,GLA,GLB Poverty Specs Mercs but 

nuthing poverty abt the Quality ,I can tell u.

Cos I own one & I have an E class too .

Dat will settle any argument,I hope.

Haha ……….

The earlier  A class was Commissioned by Mercs to an English Designer to pen the silhouette & it realli shows.

FYI,the newer A class engine was NOT from Mercs ,in case ppl here are wondering & the jury still out with the Look too ,Hatchback wise.

The sedan is alrite cos dtake the cue from the CLS.

So as u might have noticed ,it’s realli a juggle  btw Reliability &  would I say Desirabilty  .

Take yr Pick & dis being my comment ,I will take Liberty on dis.

The 3 pointed Star have dat X factors in cars even though it’s an entry Level one.

And do not be shy when u meet up with Friends /Class mate & they teased u ,Waa now driving Mercs ah?

Juzz tell them it’s a Great Car & Regret not knowing them earlier.

Rather then sheepishly mumble sumthing like No Lar ,wans to try something different.

One thing i need to warn u ?

If u are parking in yr Company premises ,which I do,plse dun feel uncomfortable parking next to yr Boss Sushi or Kimchi Car. 
he might one day ask ………

Waa ,now u Drive Mercs ah?

Wow you wrote an essay to reply an one year old posting/ thread …. TS should have change by now if not he will stick to his Jazz especially with COE rockets from Aug 2021 to Sep 2022

[Clean_car]

Need some help guys, Im doing my research now but does this model have the same infamous DSG gearbox U guys talking about?

https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=1147467&DL=3750

Thinking of buying this. Researching mode now though.

Thanks!

Thanks bro that's what I'm thinking too.

But still wondering if the golf Cabriolet using the same DSR gearbox 🤔

[Atonchia]

This is a great analogy when we men select something we pursue.

If you like big boots then go for it.

If you like big capacity then go for it.

If you like one that let you drive very long..... then go for it.

Just go with the one that makes you hard 

To resist.

I think the same 7 speed Dry Clutch.
