The New Generation Jetta Is Nearly Here

[neil]

I hope it looks better than the new Passat.
Seems to be some similarities between the two.

Ok my opinions (current Jetta owner).

Positives - Design & Overall Package - Dash is nice and soft

Negatives - This is where VW loses as it cut costs for America which carried over some negatives into the Euro version: no centre sliding cover for the drinks, centre console armrest does not ratchet anymore, boot not lined, bonnet does not have gas struts and no storage underdash by the light console (which I use all the time).

Its hitting the markets this September !!!

ps when are they going to update the 147TSI to 155TSI ????

Funny Ben,I also noticed the absence of the storage space below the lights switch,as I used to also use that the whole time in my Jetta,and I use it in the Euro daily.
I think not having a cover over the centre console cheapens the look of the interior,as there are 2 round drink spaces.

Did not notice the lack of carpeted boot,and engine was not opened.

There were quite a lot of people looking at it,and a rep from VW at it the whole time,but not very helpful,as she did not know prices,models,etc.

Good size,nice looking,nice very ROomy interior,smaller boot.

Not sure if I prefer it to the MK5 Jetta though,when that came out,I instantly fell in love with it.

I think this one,like all the newer VWs is blander,and will take time to warm to.

This is selling like hot cakes overseas,wonder if it will sell well here as well...
