Hi,
I currently have a 318i (e90) BMW with 23k on the clock, and have been looking at a Jetta 2.0TDI sport.
Test drove it today, and it was a nice drive, its a 07 plate, with 19.5k on the clock (quite high i think).
I usually do 6-7k a year, mainly through town driving.
I am getting an OK trade in price on the BMW, and an OK price for the Jetta, what do you good people reckon?
The BMW has 129 bhp, the jetta has 138 bhp, so they are not a million miles off each others spec. I know the TDI will get more mpg.
One thing that concerns me is the number of people complaining of the build quality of VW's and turbo problems seem to be a regular thing as do changing brake pads etc...
Let me know what you think folks.... all advice will be welcomed!
