Handling/space?

[Bazzamon]

Does the current model 2.0l TDI Jetta drive or handle differently to the current model Golf 2.0l TDI. Is there any more leg/foot room for the driver in the Jetta over the Golf. I am thinking of changing.What should I get as a trade in 07 tdi golf dsg for a 08 Jetta2.0l dsg? Bazz

Bazza.
Get into the dealer before the current Jetta sale ends. (I think end of dec)

Tested both Golf and Jetta and found a slight difference in ride between the
two. Measured my jetta compared to a VY Commodore recently and the jetta
had a larger boot.

It's true, Jetta boot is bigger than commodore or falcon (maybe not the station wagon versions though).

The reason... german engineering

Probably better if you take a Jetta for a test drive, as you are the only one that can say for sure what handling/ride compromise suits you best, ditto for leg/foot room.

If you are looking for more boot space than a Golf in the VAG family have you considered the Skoda Octavia sedan (actually a hatch) ? The one I drove had a boot that looked even bigger than the Jetta's boot ! You can also get an AWD Octavia 2.0 TDI if that's of any interest to you.

Jetta boot definately is huge. I recently had an Aurion sedan as a loan car (my other car, a Jeep, broke down) and the pram that fits easily north-south in the boot of the Jetta wouldn't fit north-south in the Aurion, and was a massive squeeze east-west (Jetta eats it east-west no worries too).

Jetta - it has a tardis-like boot!
