FINISHED LIGHT CLOSE-UP

 

 I bought this car Sept 2007 with 59,000km now I'm at 128,000km. The only reason why you buy a TDI is to drive.

   

The Sport Edition is a limited edition that is only sold in Canada. There are only 2,000 available. It has sportier seats, a stiffer tuned suspension, 16 inch Bugatti alloy wheels, and leather accents on the steering wheel and gear shift.

BODY STYLING
The 2004 comes across as both sporty and stylish. The model I purchased doesn't have a rear spoiler. I appreciate a car that is sporty without a a stupid plastic spoiler. True sports cars like Porches use spoilers for performance. Crap sports cars use them to collect snow in the winter.

INTERIOR
The Sport Edition come with sportier seats that are firmer and definitely more comfortable. The black fabric doesn't come across as cheap like the regular Jetta's. Definitely worth the extra money for the Sports Edition.

FUEL ECONOMY
The diesel engine is a really stingy on fuel. After driving 200 kilometers of both city and highway driving I topped up the tank. It cost $7.00 (Canadian) to fill the tank. It took exactly 10 litres to top up the tank. That's good considering I was driving the car like a sports car.

DRIVING
This car is really fun to drive. Its acceleration is not overly fast but it is in no way slow. When you step on the accelerator the car just feels peppy. The clutch for the 5 speed manual is very smooth. Shifts are a lot smoother than any Japanese car I have driven.

SAFETY
The jetta just feels safe. It has standard ABS, front and side airbags and side airbag curtains. The model I purchased came with ESP (Electronic Stabilization Program) It prevents the driver from taking corners too fast and rolling the car. It determines which wheels to use ABS braking and brakes for the errant driver.
