    DRIVING:

    My purpose for buying the Jetta was the Volkswagen name, the snob value of a German brand which owns Audi . Besides the Jetta 1.9l diesel is built on the same platform as Passat, Audi A3 or a Skoda Laura at much more economic price.

    It is an amazing car for an chaffeur driven executive because of primary benefits

    1. It has great road handling at high speeds

    2. Suspension is by far the best in its segment

    3. Safety with performance because of the 8 airbags along with the amazing diesel engine.

    Ergo is also specifically meant for the chaffeur driven executive because the diesel engine does not have a smooth pickup of the honda civic and tends to stall on the first and second gears. Once the engine stalls you need to turn it off and again start up. In terms of fun to drive it ranks way below the honda civic. It is also not loaded like the Skoda Laura i.e. no music controls on steering or backseat, no parking assist and the 1.9l trendline does not have the leather interiors or the chrome linings. Hence definately not meant for youngsters, so much so that the new Honda city seems to be better loaded and fun to drive.

    But finally the Jetta gives you the joy of owning a good german car with great performance and comfort for the chaffeur driven executives.

    Great engine performance, road handling at high speeds, 6 speed transmission and 8 airbagsNo leather interiors in trenline, no music controls on steering or backseat, no parking assist.
