smoothvibes

Thats a pretty nice car, don't think it will last long on the roads of India though, unless you live in some quiet and less crowded place, which is where you will enjoy driving it too.

smoothvibes

this car is good for long drives at nite but on highways only as thats the only place where you can enjoy drive in this car, its not a good option for crowded places and narrow streets .
for narrow streets and daily up n down.. saaddi marooti gaddi is the best car

Its a joy to drive unless your trying to street race.....Gr8 suspension

Drove the Hatchback version when i was in U.S....I think its very good

I've heard that ford's are not that good cars, so wouldn't spend money on that and rather got for the VW.

smoothvibes

ya VW is a well known brand may be not in india but its a good brand for rest of the world. Here i would like to say Ford is also good one, i like Ford icon

VW is one of the oldest car company (German)....they had been one of the foremost vehicle manufacturing company for the german's during World wars II......Also is Hitler's favorite car mfg company......Its the 3rd largest car manf company as of now....

Mr.Tooth Fairy

well... vw in india... still new... thow as stated above by smoothie and eddy tht its nice company and all.. unless it comes to india... and unless their reviews.. v cant trust.. thts a wisemen's thinking.. i think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

smoothvibes

ya as i said in my previous post that VW is new in Indian market but its a well known brand in our planet and if you need any reviews check google you can find more than thousand results for this.
I understand Indian market is different from other german or europen markets but still you can xpct a lot from VW, after all its a well known brand and in business from very long time now

The Jetta is not a cheap car to own. Who said that it is 6-7 lakhs?

The Jetta sits in the same category as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla Altis. Jetta is the priciest of the three. The ex-showroom costs in Pune are:

a) Volkswagen Jetta 1.6 Trendline - Rs. 13,19,209/-
Sedan Type, Luxury Car, 5-Seater, Petrol, 1595 CC, 5 Speed (Manual)

b) Volkswagen Jetta TDI 1.9 Trendline - Rs. 14,45,534/-
Sedan Type, Luxury Car, 5-Seater, Diesel, 1896 CC, 6 Speed (Manual)

c) Volkswagen Jetta TDI 1.9 Comfortline - Rs. 16,94,042/-
Sedan Type, Luxury Car, 5-Seater, Diesel, 1896 CC, 6 Speed (Automatic)

The good side about the Jetta is that it has almost all the high-end features of a C-Class Merc such as:

• "Glow" pattern flat weave seat upholstery
• 2 AC vents at rear
• Power Driver's seat with height adjustment
• Lockable, illuminated glove compartment with cooling facility
• Intermittent automatic rain wipers
• Door mirrors with integral turn signals
• Electrically adjustable lumbar support for front seats
• Illuminated vanity mirrors
• "Climatronic" air conditioner with 2-zone temperature control
• Electrically adjustable, heated door mirrors
• RCD 500 audio system with MP3 players function and integral 6-disc CD changer, 10 loudspeakers
• 6 airbags
• 3 rear head restraints
• Safety-optimised front head restraints
• Electronic immobiliser
• Fog lights (Jetta TDI 1.9 Trendline)
• "Plus" anti-theft warning system
• Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP)
• Traction Control System (ASR)
• 2 additional side airbags for rear passengers
