People seem to forget how important the Jetta is to VW worldwide.
Since its launch,10 million units have been sold ,and VW are moving 700 000 units a year,so this model is the 3rd most popular model in the entire VW group,only marginally behind the Golf and Passat.
Way more popular than the top selling Skoda Octavia,which moves about 200 000 units a year.
VWs most popular car in America and China,2 massive markets,as well as Mexico and Singapore.

i'm not bagging out BlackOctaviaRS's choice of getting the jetta because its a "crap" car - its not! its a great car - and as i mentioned before, i was close to buying 1 myself.
the thing i didn't get was - why buy it when there is new jetta coming very very soon?
but u've stated ur reason above - "Need a car within 3 weeks, dealer had a Jetta with the options and color I wanted in stock"
....so now "i get it".
in the end, it doesn't matter wat we say, its ur money - ur choice.MY17 Superb 162TSI, Business Grey, Tech+Comfort Pack, APR ECU+TCU Stg 1, SLA, Rieger Splitter + Side Skirts, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, Hardrace Swaybar, TPMS

I test drove a diesel Jetta a couple of years ago and thought it was pretty good. And I can't say it was that different from driving the Skoda diesels - which is not at all surprising

In China,they have 3 generations of the Jetta.
The Jetta 2 is called Jetta
The Jetta 4 is called the Bora
The Jetta 5 is called the Sagitar.
The Jetta 4,5,and 6 are all sold in Mexico
The Jetta 4 and 5 are sold alongside each other in the whole of South America.
The Jetta 6 will be out locally mid year in 2011...and the current model is still selling strongly locally and overseas.

I was looking at the 147 Jetta, but lack of manual and the pretty small boot opening compared to the Octy hatch was a dealbreaker. I was also hearing a lot of not so good things about the Vws from Mexico and the rattles from SA made Golfs, so went the safer route with the SKoda.

the jetta infact has a large boot for its class & size - scoring 527L; but the small boot opening kills it. sadly a common trait with sedans
i drove the dsg 147tsi a while ago....they were good fun. no paddle shift thoughdo they have it now?
dealer was asking $55k with xenon, charleston 18s, & leather options!!
