Hello to you all.

I look forward to receiving my first VW - a MK6 1.4 TSI Jetta and learning more about VW on these forums.

What car will the new Jetta be replacing,and what other cars,if any,did you consider ???

[Rawcpoppa]

I drive a Nissan cefiro (a33) which isn't mine so the Jetta will be my first vehicle to truly own.

Japanese cars rule the roost here so I initially looked at lancers, corollas (sad to say) and civics but due to the strength of the yen their prices weren't competitive with European cars with respect to technology, safety (most came with only 2 airbags in the fully loaded model) and performance (no turbo and only small displacements available).

I then started looking at used Audi A4, BMW 3 series cars, and even a used imported Subaru legacy gt. audis, BMW and Benz are three brands that are marked up very high here and I began looking at VW expecting a high price just like the other euros here. I was shocked when I came across the Jetta. Especially considering the redesigned Mk6 was coming as I wasn't liking the styling of the mk5 much. Further shocked about the 1.4 tsi engine and its torque curve which gives the car more pep than a 1.4 litre engine should have. Technically this thing can hang with cars with na 2.5 litre depending on their weight AND gets great fuel economy.

One test drive later I was set!
