    They looked exactly like this:



    The nice thing about the 1.6 TDI, like all CRDi turbo diesels, is that it's very easy to add more power to it with a simple ECU piggyback, unlike naturally aspirated gas engines. So while 105 hp is merely adequate, pouring in 40k can turn it into a pocket rocket of sorts.

    The 1.6 TDI Pure White Jetta I got a week ago was the newer model to the one posted in here. It doesn't have Cruise Control nor Parking Assist but that is fine with me. Build quality is a plus--you can easily appreciate German "attention-to-detail" if you are that meticulous. It feels solid. We had it for a long drive to take the 1.6 TDI engine to the test, and at speed, it is stable & remains planted even at high speed turns [it's got ESP]. For the price of P800K+, it is already a very good deal. Audio is from a Blaupunkt system & sounds pretty good also. The VW Sales Consultant told me that they are clearing inventory of 2014-2015 models so that by next year they can make room for all 2017 models including the new Tiguan. Thus the reason for the sale. The branch even have 3 VW Caddy demo models but sad to say those three already have owners though not yet released.

    I saw a white Jetta taxi yesterday. Is this one big buy or just someone experimenting on its feasibility?

    I learned about this too, from a friend, and so she bought one for her son,- who "totaled" it a few weeks later... Oh well...

    Jettas are used as taxis in China. VW has a good relationship with China and their big plants in their supply a good amount of cars for the growing China market. Shangrila Makati Hotel has switched to Jettas and Passats for their fleet ride. I didn't remember any clauses prohibiting the use of VW cars for taxi purposes. I guess VW-PH is not so particular about it unlike Honda-PH who has that premium mindset.

    I read on an article that VW PH's maintenance is every 20k. I'll try to look for it and link it here as it was just mentioned, but I'm wondering if its true. Anyone?

    It is 15k KM or 12 months, which ever comes first. The same applies for either turbo diesel or turbo gas vehicles. They do offer free inspection midway thru that period.

    After almost 4 months and clocking in 7k+ kms, im highly satisfied with the performance of the 1.6TDI DSG.

    Frugal, comfortable, and powerful

    Ayos na ayos paps, it accepts road imperfections nicely, very stable on the corners din.

    Both my senior citizen parents used the car several times going to Daet and havent heard any complains from them.

    I encounter two to three on my daily drive to work. Saw one with aftermarket rims and it's oh-so-nice.

    I think so too bro. Simple and elegant. Trunk is huge. And it is pretty well spec'd for the price.

    A few weeks back, they said it is sold out. However, you can always go to their BGC dealership. There might be some reserved units that may not have been paid for. Either you get the 2.0L TDI or 1.4L turbo gas or 1.6L TDI, the Jetta comes in a neat package.

    Sana sale din nila yung 2.0L Passat turbo. Hehehe

    That passat turbo is fast. Faster than the golf GTi. I was a skeptic at first but i confirmed it when i drove both.
