MY10 Jetta

[maca]

Have just seen images of what the 2011 Jetta 6 should look like...
The side is very much Jetta 5,with a sloped roofline similar to the Bora.

The front is Golf 6,but a big highlight is the rear,which is very much like a Jetta 5 with exposed exhaust pipes,Audi A4/BMW 3 series shaped lights.

If anyone wants a peek,go to www.vwvortex.com,
and go to forums,Volkswagen,and then the GOLF6/JETTA 6 SECTION.

The artacle is titled 2011 Jetta.American website.

This might be my next new car,how exciting...

Great find there Anthony.

Here's the direct link. I really don't like the 3 Series tail lights..

Looks hot!! Though I'd be disappointed if the Oz version doesn't use the LED tail lights (I think the US version MKV doesn't anyway).

.. and yes, finally they mentioned the possibility of AWD that has been missing from Jetta range

Looks very generic

The tail lights are one of the design highlights of the Jetta and while I know those 3-series type lights are just a mimicing of the style of the MKVI Golf, it makes it look boring.

Ah well, shall be holding onto ours for some years yet! At about 4000kms p.a. it should last about 30 years

2010 model looks the same.

Interior changes, specification tweaks. New entry level model - 1.6 TDI for $28,990 with claimed fuel efficiency of 4.9L/100kms. 2.0 TSI is $38.990, I guess the slightly cheaper price is due to lowering of import duties?

- 1.6 TDI 5-speed manual: $28,990
- 1.6 TDI 7-speed DSG: $31,490
- 1.4 TSI 6-speed manual: $30,990
- 1.4 TSI 7-speed DSG: $33,490
- 2.0 TDI 6-speed DSG: $35,990
- 2.0 TSI Highline 6-speed DSG: $38,990
- 2.0 TDI Highline 6-speed DSG: $38,990

more like final model year before Mk6

Those Mk6 illustrations are way to soft for the direction VW is going its basically a mishmash of Golf 6 and Passat.

At the launch,VW announced they have sold 12000 Jettas locally,and are happy with the Jettas sucess,but seem to be getting far more aggressive ,with much more competitive pricing,new features,and new engines and a wide choice of models.
The Jetta must be the best value for money model that VW offers,and one of the best value for money cars on the market in general.

I've actually just realised VGA released an entry level 2010 Jetta 77TDI by DionM's post ... hmmm... 0-100 km/h in 12 sec for $28,990?

IMHO I don't see the value in that unless if you are just looking at fuel economy of diesel. I'd go for the 118TSI for $2000 extra and yet only 1.3sec slower than the 147TSI

I think they are hitting the fleet market as well. My friend can pick a 118TSI as a company car (or a Mazda 6 or Liberty). They used to get Commodore Acclaims.

Not all about speed. It's a nice car with low fuel economy for a low price. Ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of people. I wouldn't buy one, but I can see who would.

I thought the same thing when I saw that list. But it's a good way for VW to enter the niche that is large cars at small prices. Sure it's not quick but that's alot of car for that price (given it has the same equipment as the MY09s).

I am tempted to upgrade my polo to a jetta 118 tsi DSG, does anyone had a chipped one and tell me about how it goes? I am interested to compare the performance between the chipped jetta and my polo...

Found this tonight. Good to see they've finally introduced a 125TDI as an alternative to the flagship 147TSI (not that I ever had anything against that).

There's a few guys on here with chipped twincharger golfs. I think it gets up to about 150 kw/ 300 Nm.

Similar power to a chipped polo GTI, but the jetta is about 300-400kg heavier.

Hi,
Picked up my Jetta yesterday and guess what, it is a MY10 model. I will post photos soon but so far the interior changes I have been able to spot from MY09 are as follows.

1. Front parking sensors.
2. New stereo and AC panel.
3. New stearing wheel with different buttons.
4. Black trims instead of silver.
5. Full screen MFD with white display (instead of red).
6. The fuel and Oil gauges are inside the speedo meter and RPM meter.

Very excited. Odd thing was that the manaul provided was for the older model so I have to fight to get an updated manual. I also got a VW bluetooth and it works like a charm. The mic is also installed inside the top light panel so you cannot see.

More later.

Regards

Congratulations,and enjoy,enjoy,enjoy.
