2day Sunday times, pg 14
See Sunday times classified 346, list of VW is short...
Looks like I can forget about owning the new 2011 Jetta liaoz...
Jetta has good reviews, 1.4 l,yet handle like a 2l carOriginally Posted by azeoprop
the new Jetta 2011 looks like the new Polo....abit boring....just abit wider abit longer
VW = Boring. All look the same. The Scirocco is like a squashed up Golf. The Polo is like a mini Golf. But it's a safe choice and becoming very popular. Even the cabrio EOS looks boring - I have no idea how any carmaker can make a cabrio look that ugly and uninspiring.
Volkswagen means "people's car" in German
VW was one of the Nazi war machines...

so is toyota, honda, BMW, Benz and every other Jap and german car maker....Originally Posted by hyenergix
I drive the jetta 1.4L TSI 2008 version. Nice pickup and decent low torque , but abit tight for 3 big adults at back seat. Getting a bit common on the road already, got to change to other car...heh
This is parallel to new home sales. New homes and cars more expansive, resale sub sale no worry.
Be careful with VW.
The 7-speed DSG has been giving problems and folks are having to change mechatronics and what-nots.
Mainly Golf and Jetta victims with some Passat CCs.
I have had 3 VWs and that is enough.
My Golf stalled when I was leaving the Balmeg showflat, ya, going down the steep slope......
wow...u so on VW...got problems still bot 3 from them!Originally Posted by skyhigh

Wow, scary stuff
my jetta is 6 speed, 2 years old. I did experience an engine stall while driving up a slope at gear 1 and 2. Was shocked. Happened only once though.
my relative's 7speed scirocco changed gearbox twice in 1 year. 6speed better & are found in their higher bhp models.
tats scary...scriocco 1.4 version by itself oredi a BIG problem....must die die get 2L version BUT price varies too much.....Originally Posted by maisonjai
7spd cannot support higher BHP...tats y...
a lot of rotten cars in sgcarmart lately... and sellers asking high high too. Buy now? hahaha
what do u guys think of a 2006 alfa romeo GT 2.0L? any good?
alfa no resale value wor...drive till scrap and hope give u no problemsOriginally Posted by sufri
Oh ok thanks for the input.Originally Posted by devilplate
What do you think of second-hand BMW 2.0 or 2.5L 3 series coupe/cabriolet?
good resale? if cabriolet, will the open-roof mechanism give problems?
entry level bmw sucks when it comes to interior, very plasticky. if i were to recommend a car, it will have to be the lexus IS250 for those with 1xxk to spare. car has very good dampening, very smooth gear change, powerful at 200hp and there is executive feel to it
tot toyota got recall problems..? lexus got anot ar?Originally Posted by Regulators
i tink car's reliability most impt...
i only feel lexusIS250 back seat damn cramp
get 2nd hand 523/525 if u like BM badge....Originally Posted by sufri
yeah i think toyota compensated a lexus driver's family 13 mil recently in a court battle, but i am not sure if it is the IS250. The IS250 model has been around for more than 6 years and they have only facelifted the car all these years. The back is a bit cramp but the luxury is mainly intended for the driver and front passenger. The seats are also airconditioned, something many car dont have.

hv u test out the Tesla, that will give u 1 more reason to buy landed. hee
i already have a sedan as a family car so i am not looking at 5 series.Originally Posted by devilplate
3 series for me is still ok but must be coupe.
Lexus 250 looks reliable but still a sedan.
any good reliable 2nd coupe can recommend <$150K ?
