Jetta's performance, look and safety features backed with German technology is superb. Jetta can't be compared with Honda City or SX4.A car to compete with Jetta in its segment is yet to come

Jetta cannot be compared to Hondacity or fiesta,is in competition with the Civic,camry,Laura,etc in these segement.I drove the car from Bangalore to Dharwad,distance of 465 Kms,excellent mileage of 20.23 kms/liter(at an average speed of 90-100kms/hr) diesel.Responds the way you think,sturdy & feels safe even at speeds of 145 kms/hour.worth for 17.6 lacs on road price

Yes,jetta looks cool loaded with good sum of safety and style in it.As VW is called as peoples car and i think the price tag should be below 10 lac. to 11 lac.so that can fight with both the segment's like verna & city and also with other segment of skoda and civic .add the specifications and test ride results.
08 September 2008 By V P Kumar

The Jetta is in a class above the competitors you mention,and competes more with the Toyota Corolla and Camry,and Honda Civic and Accord.
Its much like a mini Passat,and BMW 3 series.
Is a huge seller world wide,should sell very well in India too,with lots of good looks,equipment and safety features.07 September 2008 By Anthony

Is it in the segment of Verna and SX 4?
Or is it redefining the segment?07 September 2008 By Dipankar Paul
