Thanks Anthony.
I was almost sold on the Accord Euro, but was totally disappointed in its performance. It looks awesome, it's built incredibly well, and features everything I could want in a car. But it bored me to sleep driving it :(. The engine lacks torque, and the auto tranny sucks the life out of the drive.
If it came with a 2.0T and a DSG it would be the absolute ideal car for me! :D
The Euro was the biggest contender for me when I was considering the Jetta. For about the same price with my Jetta, I could have gotten the Luxury Navi which had more equipment over the Jetta like the Bi-Xenon, Satnav, RVC, paddle shifters (all which were REALLY IMPORTANT to me when I was deciding on the new car - I WANTED to have all these new gadgets) etc. But in the end, it just didn't really excite me at all (the performance, drive, styling - didn't like the look on the MY12 styling). Sure the Jetta isn't as well equipped or built like the Euro but I'm loving it more and more each day. I find myself staring at it.. a lot... haha.
Good luck, coz you're gonna need it! They're both great cars IMO.
bought new jetta 147, before purchased this car, i tried honda accord euro, subaru liberty. they all very nice and good quality cars, but won't made me excited about driving. the only one made me excited was subaru liberty GT, but its way over my budget. one of the reason made me purchasing this car was the price, my jetta got sunroof, Satnav,black pearl print and towbar for $42500. i guess its better value than Euro.
That's a really good price! Well done!
'Grats on the new car!Quote:

exactly!
IMO choosing a car is very personal, you got feeling, and you love it. I don't believe these is a "best car" in the market for everyone, otherwise the other car manufacturers won't sell any car. you only can choose the best car for yourself. jetta is the one for us now!
when we planned to buy a new car, actualy jetta wasn't on my list until we test drove it. totally surprised us. my girlfriend love the feeling, so do I.
I guess maybe because i owned Bora v5 before and missing the joy that Bora brought to us.
I think VW done a lot of work on the cost of car that made this car more affordable. new car price is lower than pervious model and warranty is much better now which gives me peace of mind for own it.
our dollar is very strong, gives you a lot of bargain power to european cars!!!!!
