Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    You could also look at Mazda 3 — good gadget, I prefer them to Corolla nowadays.

      My inlaws have a 2014 Corolla hatch. I would not describe it as roomy or having a big boot (although the sedan would be bigger). I'm also suprised at how low-budget the finish is. Very disappointing - for rusted on Toyota lovers only.

      They only paid $22k for it new so I'd assume 12m old would be $4-5k less

        The Corolla hatchback is disappointing,with a tiny boot and no rear legroom.
        The sedan is a completely diffirent design,and newer as well,but hard to find any used ones under $20000.

        Mazda 3 sedan is also a great car,but also out of budget.

        Maybee Jetta is the best buy for that money...

            I am inclined towards buying a 2013 used VW Jetta 118TSi model , VW says fuel economy while doing city driving is 7.7 , want to confirm if thats the case in real world or not. Also are there any known issues with this year's Jettas.

            FYI - I have 16-17 grands that I can use to buy a new(read used) mid size/family car which I want to use for weekend uber purposes as well , Also I think I will keep it maximum for 3 years not more than that so would be nice to know depreciation on Jettas as well.

            Any other suggestions would be appreciated .

            Thanks !!

            Hey mate, I drive an '08 Golf GT Sport running the 125kw 1.4L tsi engine. Although it has a few extra kw over the 118 tsi engine it lists the same 7.7L/100km average fuel consumption. I can confirm that this is fairly close to accurate. On a full tank of 98 ron fuel (costs me about $65-70 for a full tank) I will drive around Brisbane doing both short trips to the shops and also a few longer drives such as 45 min down to gold coast. The best consumption I've got out of the full tank was 680km and the worst I've got is 550km.

            Coming from driving a straight 6 mitsubishi magna that did 400km off a $90 91 ron fill up, its a massive improvement!
