I personally think that news is more 'guesstimate' than based on any leaked info. I strongly recommend that if you like the Jetta, go ahead with the purchase. Also, the car sports an elegant design and thus likely to age gracefully. Yes, the new Jetta will likely follow a different design philosophy - more like coupe, than a regular sedan. Actually, VW plans to give Jetta more premium look and feel, moving it away from a 'German Toyota Corolla' (Gosh! That's insulting) image. So, it will in all likelihood be costlier. So what? You need to buy this car today, you seem convinced that this is the right choice for you, the product itself seems future proof (nothing feels outdated on the Jetta) - so, what's stopping you then? Best of luck for your purchase. -A Last edited by Abhi_Automobile : 8th September 2016 at 11:16. | |

| ![]() Hi Gannu, I have procured a DS-611 HU from AudioSources for my Polo GT TSi. This HU comes with the double antenna connector like RCD510. So I need to get the single to double antenna adaptor. I am not able to locate the right adaptor in AliExpress. Can you please point to the link where I can get this adaptor? Thanks in advance for the pointers. |

Are you specific on the DSG? If you are okay with the manual, the I'd recommend that you can consider new CL TDI, which is significantly cheaper - I got mine for 16.9 OTR Gurgaon in Jan '15. Last edited by Abhi_Automobile : 8th September 2016 at 18:39. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() @epic Actually the concern about phasing out a good proven product known for durability is a bit subjective. People are not hesitant to buy 50k worth smart phones that is outdated in 6 months flat. For cars you see the whole company's reputation in providing service and spares. Mitsubishi pulled shutters down on Cedia in 2010 and still supplying original spares. The only thing to be worried would be resale value if you want to change the car in 3-4 years time. If you want to keep 8-9 years, that is not an issue. |

| ![]() If resale is priority, you might not be able to attempt D segment Germans at all ![]() IMO, if you are looking at the DSG you should go with the Jetta. There are 2 terms that get repeated by every owner that goes for the Jetta DSG as opposed to the Octavia DSG, 'multi link suspension' 'DQ250 gearbox' and its been a proven workhorse (going by the ownership reports). I was drooling at the Jetta when I went to checkout the Vento, wish I had the Vitamin M to buy it (sigh). |

| ![]() Any idea about the discounts being offered on Jetta. I assume now that discontinuation / new version is on cards discount should be quite good. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() I drove a facelifted Jetta back to back with mine yesterday 1: It is much more refined compared to my 2012 model 2: My car felt more tactile and heavier. You can feel the steering 3: My car felt naked without the dual zone a/c, bluetooth and xenons |

| ![]() So guys it has been confirmed that Volkswagen has stopped production of the Jetta and will be launching the new model in March 2017. How am I sure? Well I called up the VW showroom in Thane in order to enquire and book the car and was told by the sales executive that VW has stopped production of the vehicle and they are only selling what is currently available in their stockyard and so not taking bookings for any new cars. On probing, I was told that the new car is due to launch in March 2017 and bookings will be taken only post March 2017. So there you go, I am glad I did not decide to buy the current model even though I am sure I would have got a good deal for them. But then I am sure they would have depreciated to less than 50% with in 06 months and even more once the new model was out. |
