| Honda City to Jetta ....... Friends it was Feb 2009 when my one year old Honda City went head on into a stationary truck on the Delhi - Kanpur Highway at 6.00 in the morning with a lot of fog around at a speed of 60-70 kmph , that City model did not have ABS nor did it had any airbags , still we were extremely lucky that the five of us who were there in the car did not got a scratch on our bodies.  It took almost two months for Honda to repair the damage but I got disgruntled with the car and there began my journey to search for a new car .... my wish list : 1. Anything in the range of Rs 12-Rs 15 lac 2. No preference for Fuel 3. Sedan I had only four choices Civic, Altis, Laura and Jetta. I test drove all of them frankly speaking in the city driving condition it hardly made any difference all four were good though Laura M/T was the better of the lot in my opinion. I was about to finalize Laura M/T ( Elegance) as with my budget it seemed to be the best choice though Jetta A/T was the prefered choice for me but then its cost was disturbing my budget so I decided to compromise with Laura. Call it luck or destiny the day (July 2009) I was going to give initial booking amount for Laura , a sales person from Jetta called me and told me about their scheme of 0% finance, three years AMC and extended warranty...... but there was a catch the offer was only on color Black and Platinum Grey .... also a couple of dealers informed me it was for 2008 model .... which again was a dampner. Then I thought lets wait for another month may be by that time GM Cruze would also be launched and I would have one more choice .... then in August 2009 another offer came from VW , finance 4.99% , three years AMC and extended warranty.... though this was higher then the previous offer but this time there were no catches. Now my calculative mind started all calculations and I came to the conclusion that if I buy Laura M/T Elegance or Jetta A/T my cost of ownership after three years would be equal .... which instantly gave me the comfort to go for "Comfortline" which in any case was what I was looking for from the day I had seen it. To be Cont...... Last edited by Dippy : 15th September 2009 at 13:30. |
