    2016 Jetta Feedback

    Hey all,

    I am considering purchasing a new Trendline Jetta in Manual while VW have their sale on. Does anyone have any feedback on how theirs is performing?

    Cheers

    thanks for your feedback mate, not looking to hang onto it much longer after the warranty period ends so not too worried about the engine. I have friends that work at a dealership and a lot of the problems seem to revolve around the older polo engines. Wish they still did the diesel engine, I would have got that.

    I took delivery of a manual MY16 Trendline about 2 weeks ago. Still under 1000km. The $21k drive-away and cheap finance hooked me in.

    So far, no complaints. I've stepped up from a '99 CR-V and a '05 Echo. The torque and power difference is impressively tangible.

    In the first couple of days I noticed the clutch was a bit noisy, at first with a swishing sound and then a few days later it was a periodic clunking while reversing (both only detectable with the windows down). The sounds haven't recurred since so I am assuming those were bedding-in noises. Everything else has been flawless so far.

    I'm really loving it.

    Hey mate.

    Thanks for the positive feedback. Were you able to negotiate any free extras? Tint/mats/etc? I may shoot you a quick PM

    Cheers.

    Honestly, I didn't bother trying to lever too much out of them. I was happy enough with the price. However, the deal is a Volkwagen Australia promotion, so I would guess that the dealership should still have the normal amount of wriggle room (whatever that is).

    Before I went with the Octavia .... One dealership offered tint, VW floor and dash mats and a guaranteed full tank of petrol.....that's the most I have ever been offered by any VW dealer ever. Getting mats on a golf once was like pulling teeth.

    Somehow I don't think they are selling as well as you might otherwise think (the 21,990 deal was extended from Dec 2015 to March 2016)
