Jetta 1.4 TSI DSG

Yeah. I got upgraded from a Jazz to a C180 by Avis, earlier this year. Drove it for a week. Very nice car. Fell in love.

Weight won't be a problem. No family yet... Only 2 of us. Maybe a couple of bikes on the roof. I don't really want to buy second hand. If the Jetta's ride comes close to the C180, I'll take it.

Haven't driven a Jetta in quite some time, but if it's anything like the Passat's ride, it's nice and firm - quite like the BMW.

I believe the new Jetta is very good. Will report back when they have one available for a test drive.
 
Nothing wrong with the Cruze - probably a better option than the super dull Jetta. However that said you can't compare the Jetta and Cruze to a BMW or Mercedes.

:D

The Jetta is actually quite good looking... Cruze looks dull and is also horrible to drive, I've heard and read.

With a few extras, I think you can actually compare the Jetta to a lower end Merc and BMW. Will report back soon.

I've been looking for a C-segment car with an auto or semi-auto box. I've considered the Cerato 2.0 AT, Elantra 1.8 AT, Focus 2.0 PowerShift and Citroen C4 1.6T EGS6... but no... they are not quite good enough. Each one had a few things that put me off. I've never considered the Golf/Jetta 6, because the only DSG models available here (besides the GTI) were the very under powered 1.6 TDI Golf and Jetta. I see that the 90kW 1.4 TSI DSG models are now available in SA and the Jetta with a couple of extras sounds perfect for me.

My question... If you were in the market, would you go for a new VW (with full maintenance plan to 120 000km) or second hand C180/320i with low mileage and balance of a maintenance plan? Spec for spec they are very similar.

It's only 90kW with single turbo... The Highline model comes with a twin turbo 118kW version of the same engine. The 90kW is quick enough. I'm not looking for a race car.
