Owning a VW locally is it economical and practical enough?

nice 308 car in there sir tiningnan ko rin yan pero Jetta kaya ng budget ko last February

I got the 308 because I like hatchback but I can't afford a GTI. For the 1.3M price ng Jetta with the active safety features (Business Edition +) panalo yung price. I test drove both the Jetta and Golf GTS and I find the Jetta to have a better (subjective) suspension perhaps due to multi-link rears and 17" wheels compare to the torsion beam and 18" wheels of the GTS. But I got the GTS pa din because that's the closest thing to a hatchback.

Im set on the facelifted Golf Gti next year with the power module. Gonna have a lot of fun with it. Sana lang they brought the R here. AwD is perfect for our crappy road surface.

Musta po ang GTS? Wala po ba kayong naencounter na problems so far?

Firstly, it wasn't the car I originally wanted. I got the color I didn't want. But, at the price point, nothing comes close to what I get.

There are things I don't like but it is what it is.

Car is less than a month, no problems thus far and I don't expect any problems in the foreseeable future.

No problemo for our 15 month old Jetta 1.6 DCT, running around 20k.

White. Got the unit offered to ayala employees only. Yun sinabi ng pinsan ko who works for VW QA, hindi na kami nag dalawang isip. Sobrang sulit for 850k

Same with us, thru the Ayala corporate car promo. Ours is black with the 17" rims and leather seats (950k). Pansin ko though that the 1.6L TDI does not sound (during idle) as refined as the 2.0L TDI model.

Didn't hear it side by side but when i got to try the 2.0, ang layo nito sa 1.6 when it comes to engine response. Sarap i-drive ng 2.0 TDI

The thread wishes to discuss the viability of owning a VW vehicle locally. What's the big thing about the cheat code found in US-model VWs? It does not even apply to us. Maybe it would be more apt to discuss that in its own thread.

Agreed. Has nothing to do with us here in Pinas. Anyway, even after that dieselgate VW still became the number 1 in the world ... . I own a Jetta 1.4TSI 7DSG anyway and I love the car very fun to drive. I'm looking into getting that second hand 2000 golf mk4 1.9TDI ! I just don't know if our local VW casa will service the car.
