The Outsider Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The Jetta in the uk is known as a fleet car. Thats how VW positioned them. Not many people in Europe buy the Jetta. However they are a favorite of the cab companies. Cause they can be bought in bulk orders. ^ Passat is way overpriced, and so is their SUV (Toureg?), but a 6 cylinder fully loaded Jetta is substantially less than an A4, C class, or 3 series BMW. My Jetta has around 80k miles on it now, and all I've spent on is regular servicing, oil change, and a tire change once. Can't really find any reason to complain for what it was bought for - a nice, sturdy, safe, and reliable sedan. I guess the fact that it runs as taxis in the UK maybe influences your opinion and the car probably loses its value because of that, but in the US that's not an issue.

VW will always be reliable. From the Golf to the Passat. I guess another problem is lack of a good diesel variant. Dont think the US uses diesel as a fuel. Another issue is that in europe you have the highly capable Compact Golf variant. Which is cheaper as roomy and as efficient as a Jetta . Why would you pay for a Jetta for just a little extra space. This is exactly why VW decided to position the Jetta for commercial businesses. Golf had the lower end of the spectrum covered and was expanding in term of ability and dimensions of space. While the passat had the higher end covered. the Jetta was becoming the problem middle child being squeezed from either end. What i guess can happen is that America never really had a thing for compact cars. Therefore the Jetta in the USA is their entry level car?

Jersey #10 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Acura TL is a very bad option, IMO It looks exactly like the Camry. Look for something else. You live in India or in any other country? The TL looks nothing like a Camry. Maybe you are thinking of the TSX or ILX. Even then they are completely different. There is no car like Camry. Any comparison can fall flat against it. Its absolutely the most reliable car ever made and will last you at least 200,000 miles with minimal maintenance (regular oil changes). I already have a couple of Toyotas so trying to go one up now.

Detonator Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 your Dad's A6 = your A6 :dontknow: you dont drive it? I have an older sister and a brother. Higher probablility is that he might give it to one of them or split it into 3 :(( But I don't need these costly cars. A car is just to travel, so I will earn myself and buy a simple electric hatchback car, within 10L. :--D better than cars in heavy traffic :--D Eco-friendly Good for health Belly and ***** will remain toned.

Golf is there in the US, but as you rightly said bigger cars are preferred in America so it isn't very popular. Passat is also there, but it's price range is not very different from an A4, so I guess it doesn't sell all that much due to that. Based on my experience of seeing cars on the road, I would say Jetta would easily outnumber Golf or Passat in the US. I don't have the official numbers, so might be wrong. Jetta mainly competes with the Camry, Accord, Maxima kind of cars in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build and design looks like the Camry. Camry is a good car, but I seriously doubt about Acura. I will get back after reading some more reviews.
