I drove a 118 Jetta comfortline today,and its much the same price as a Euro base model automatic.
The Euro is STILL a far nicer car,with a far better finished interior,nicer looks,the new Jetta is very bland,and goes better,and you dont have to worry about engine or DSG failiures...
i like my CU2.
only complain: the torque of 230Nm@ 4200-4400 rpm for 1.6tonne of weight is just not enough! even worse when the car is fully loaded with 5 regular adults...
besides that, for daily commuting in the traffic, it's all good (besides 12.5L/100km economy).
for relaxed driving it's good,
for spirited driving, and traffic light gran prix against V6's and turbo's, it's the wrong car!
It depends on your definition of spirited driving, I find the Euro more than capable for a sunday squirt through some nice twisty roads.Quote:

But your spot on about traffic light grand prix! The Euro isn't winning many of them:)
Best price i could negotiate on a new MY12 CU2 Auto was $35,765 drive away. Included in the price are Tint, Floor Mats & Fog Lights. (car on order - pearl white again) I have a set of OEM 18's ready to be fitted - got tyres today.

I thought that the dimensions of the new grille and old grille were different so you can't fit the Modulo grille without the Modulo bumper on the facelift?
