Comparison Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Kia Cee'd or Volkswagen Golf? Comparative Test Challenges and Comfort VW Jetta VS VW Golf

How much is the experience in the design of cars? Compact Volkswagen Golf has been produced for 40 years! And Kia LED is the first model of the Korean manufacturer in this class. Even in the 80s of the 20th century, almost no one in Europe and did not hear about the Asian brand. Cee'd was designed specifically for the European market, its production was established there. When creating a car, all advanced experience was used.

The answer to the question of who was better trusted by modifications in the body of the wagon. Browsing the sale of sales, shows that KIA is significantly cheaper than VW, about 25%. To conquer the market, Koreans sold their cars for a much smaller price than German competitors. It was reflected in the value ratio in the secondary market.

The version of Kia in the body of the universal was debit almost a year after the hatchback yield in 2007. Golf V appeared much earlier, but the version of the universal appeared in the European market only in 2007. For comparison, modifications were elected with approximately the same power with gasoline engines: KIA with a 2-liter atmospheric with a capacity of 143 hp, and Volkswagen with a supervised 1.4 TSI - 140 hp

Inside Kia, passengers can count on a greater supply of space above the head, while golf, gives more freedom for the feet of the rear passengers. Cee'd wagon trunk roommate, but in Golf it is more correct. If you compare the hatchbacks, then the volume of the trunk of the golf (350-1305 liters) is more SID (340-1300 liters).

Compact Volkswagen has an advantage due to a fine-tuning chassis. In motion both car confident and comfortable. The cee'd SW wagon is slightly tougher, and the steering control does not reach the feedback. However, it is worth noting that the behavior of KIA on the road in all respects is correct.

Golf engine attracts dynamics. Kia made a bet on simple technical solutions: under the hood is a relatively simple 2-liter gasoline engine, except for the system of changing the phase distribution. Volkswagen's power unit managed to get almost the same power from the working volume of only 1.4 liters. This is achieved due to the use of double supervision (compressor and turbine) and direct fuel injection. The parameters are frankly shocked. Incredible for gasoline 1,4-liter engine Maximum torque 220 nm is available in the range of 1500-4000 rpm. This solution is very well suited for movement on the highway. When measuring acceleration from place, cars go into the nose, but in the test on elasticity with triumph, golf wins, despite the 6-speed manual transmission.

All is well, until they reached two more important points. First, this fuel consumption. From the direct injection and super technologies of Volkswagen, we expected significant savings. But, unfortunately, the difference in fuel consumption was small. Golf is more economical Side just 0.1 l: 7.8 l against 7.9 liters. However, more dynamic driving style immediately leads to an increase in KIA appetite to 10 liters per 100 km.

The second important point is reliability. It is well known that new complex technical solutions are prone to "childhood diseases". This fate and golf engine did not bypass. But noteworthy is the fact that the disease is directly related to a turbine or compressor. Troubles presented a timing chain.

One of the advantages of the golf is a wide range of engines offered, but the wagon has fewer. If you are afraid of the risk associated with 1.4 TSI disease, then you should pay attention to an unpretentious 1,6-liter motor with a capacity of 102 hp. From diesel, you can recommend 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI, but with COMMON Rail.

For kia lovers, the choice is modest: in addition to gasoline 2.0 liters, atmospheric gasoline 1.6 l and two diesel - 1.6 and 2.0 liters. Two-liter is available with a 5-speed manual transmission or a simple 4-speed "automatic". Volkswagenovsky TSI is combined with a standard 6-speed "mechanical" or an optional preselective gearbox with double clutch DSG 6.

Another advantage of the golf is a greater number of body versions: 3 and 5-door hatchback, enlarged Plus, station wagon and technically closely related - Jetta sedan and compacttwan Touran. In this context, LEDs looks like a poker - 3-door Pro_cee'd, 5-door hatchback and wagon SW - Sport Wagon. But focus on universal.

Kia CEE "D SW

Kia and Volkswagen designers in terms of practicality created well-thought-out luggage compartments. When comparing volumes, the victory wins LED with a capacity of 534-1664 liters, against a golf with slightly smaller values \u200b\u200b- 505-1495 liters. The wide door of the Kia trunk opens high, and the loop mount makes it easier for it to use on close parking lots.

Volkswagen Golf Variant V

Compact cars do not have much larger sizes, so waiting should not be overly overestimated. Our competitors will easily cope with family transportation. Front seats comfortable, driver and passenger provided a lot of space. Golf has an advantage in applying higher quality finishing materials and a little better lateral support.

In the rear sofa, the trip for a short distance will be able to transfer three passengers. At the same time, Side's salon is somewhat wider than golf and provides a greater supply of space above the head. But Golf offers more space of passenger feet and a more comfortable sofa. But these differences are just small nuances, because both cars are quite practical universals.

Volkswagen Golf Variant V

Although Kia LED and a good car, but it is not deprived of serious defects. The main slip is the problems with paintwork of copies from the first batch. In most cases, cars have already been repaired, which will allow you to be stumble upon purchasing. In the first years, small foci of corrosion may already appear. Other common scrolling problems in the cabin and a worn steering wheel coating. The upholstery after several years of operation no longer looks fresh.

Kia CEE "D SW

In general, LED is simple and reliable, but surprised faults like the refused rear wiper due to the failure of the electronic control module. Replacement is needed. In addition, an audio system often hangs in older cars. The running part is relatively durable. Most often have to change racks / bushing stabilizers and rear shock absorbers.

Volkswagen created a really good car - this is something for granted. The body of the fifth golf does not have problems with corrosion, and minor flaws in the interior are easy to forgive - the aesthetics suffers, but does not significantly affect the price. Even with a large mileage, the suspension does not turn out to be strong. There are problems with a radiator fan and electronics, such as a central locking. But the main trick is hidden in the 1.4 TSI engine - the electromagnetic clutch of the water pump, stretching the timing chain, failure failure. These elements can immobilize the car and become a reason for substantial costs. Unfortunately, the probability of encounter with voiced faults is high.

Volkswagen Golf Variant V

And yet we recommend Golf. It is better to choose a car with tested engines: simple 1.6 or diesel 1.9 TDI or 2.0 TDI with Common Rail. But the most important thing is to purchase a thorough inspection and verification of system performance.

One dimensional class, one platform and almost the same characteristics - car enthusiasts often argue about what is better, Audi A3 or Golf from Volkswagen? Audi is prestige, and VW is the ability to buy a charged car, spending less money on it. Is there a fundamental difference between these two models or buying a car again will be approved by your own?

Technical part

These two cars are peers, they with enviable regularity appear before their fans in new images, causing even more thinking about what is better: Audi A 3 or Golf. Perhaps the dispute would not be so sharp, do not use the audio platform of your competitor. All three generations of the brainchild of Ingolstadt produce on the already running platform from the golf, so VW goes to step ahead. For the last time a breakthrough occurred: the new MQB modular platform with the cross-arrangement was first tested on Audi A3, and Golf 7 has already received a base brought to mind.

In the third generation Audi, the hatchback is released only with gasoline turbocharged engines. Its competitor in the same modification went and gasoline and diesel. At least the A-third - Motor 1.4, and Golf 7 for Europe - 1.2. At the same time, Ingolstadt put on his car only a seven-step robot on his car, and in Wolfsburg, they decided to go beyond the framework and gave customers a choice between four transmissions: 5 or 6-speed mechanics, 6 or 7-speed robot.

In the basic initial version for the Russian market, cars are supplied with front-wheel drive. The legendary Quattro in the third is available only with the engine 2.0, and the golf is equipped with 4motion in the 7th generation in the version with diesel engines for Europe.

If you choose that it is better a golf or Audi on the soft move, the advantage will be behind the second car. There are both MacPherson racks ahead, and behind a four-way. In the standard assembly, these two models are equipped with a classic European suspension, which in principle does not cope with Russian realities and is designed for coatings without chosel. And with such the same configurations, it is the Audi drives even more. According to the technical characteristics declared on paper, you expect other: Golf has a standard suspension supplemented with the option "for bad roads", and A3 has to pay extra for a similar function and choose between a separate sports suspension, taking 15 mm in clearance and enhanced suspension specifically for uneven Roads.

In terms of driving, a third is also broken. It also affects the more powerful motor, and the overall character of the Sportback cars. The transmission reacts faster to the gas pedal even in comfort mode, golf is not felt by excitement and in sports. This car takes time to gain speed, while the robot twitching is very noticeable. But this is all on the highway and high speeds, in the urban mode the dimension of Golf plays this car in hand: it is less swinging when driving underlying policemen, smoothly overcomes the snowy congestion in winter. The only thing that does not like golf is sharp edges of the pit. The clearance of this car is somewhat less than a competitor, so it is better not to go on it from the track.

Safety

A modern car simply cannot exist without digital assistance assistants to the driver. One of them is an adaptive cruise control, which the Audi works at speeds up to 200 km / h. It is in the database at the third, but the golf has the presence of an assistant depends on the type of transmission, because it works only with a robot. In fact, it is a step towards unmanned driving: sensors and radars located around the perimeter of the car, monthly read the road situation and transmit data to the main computer. If the movement slowed down, the brake system will automatically work to withstand the predetermined distance to the nearest car. Like a cruise control of Audi, an assistant movement in traffic jams (at speeds up to 65 km / h), and since 2012, golf has a similar function appeared only after restyling in 2016.

Against the background of common ESP / ESC systems, VW has an XDS differential blocking, which not only improves handling, but also reduces the slip in complex road conditions, for example, in the snow. And this is without a full drive.

Both vehicles are designed for the average age category. They include systems ABS, EBV, ASR, EDS, seven airbags, equipped with independent head restraints and belts, fastenersIsofix. For children's chairs, but in testEuro. NCAP Audi is ahead.

Exterior

Hatchback at Volkswagen looks easy and tightened. In the standard configuration, it is conservative in German and very much reminds Golf 5 or 6, differing from them the front zone. Ahead the car has become more aggressive and already a little like a plump Fear of Golf 4: Designers removed the radiator grille allocated under the hood and wide air intakes in the bumper were modified. He has no hard ribs, massive stepper, blowing wheel arches, and only in the configuration R -Line added sports elements, thanks to which you can think about the dynamic nature of the car. Otherwise, this is a city car for a small family.

The design of the A third is more emotional. Perhaps the role of the Sportback equipment plays, visually pronounced in short overwhelms. The front part immediately suggests that this is an Audi, loving sports. Branded hexagonal radiator grille, pointed headlights with a jar along the bottom edge, massive air intakes, strict ribs passing from the hood to the trunk door - the car does not look with a restrained German and wins on the background of a faceless golf.

Due to the bevelled windshield, smoothly turning into a dome-shaped roof, and the extended side glazing zone Audi looks longer and more powerful. Golf remained shot down as 5 or 6 generation. Thanks to a narrow middle rack, the side glazing visually expanded: it seems that the car added to height and stentered, so it is not necessary to count on some speeds and maneuverability.

The laconic image of the VW Golf will emphasize and decorate the stern. Very neat trunk door, tagged with rear lights, emphasizing the streamlord of sides, is exactly as he became a golf in the 7th generation. And even the massive rear bumper did not give it the power.

Audi is all otherwise. The geometry of the rear lights is emphasized by their rectilinear backlight. Strict horizontal optics line creates an impression of a wide stern. The sporting character of the car is also talking about the design of the lower air intakes, and the shape of the exhaust system nozzles. Plus Audi - Optional EXTERNAL EXTERNAL PACKE OF S LINE, with which the hatchback gets stylish overlays on the thresholds, bumper and 18-inch discs.

Optics

Modern car lighting system Experts are assessed with special addiction. This is not only part of the design, but also the security system component. Optics These cars are similar: these are standard LEDs in daytime running lights and LED technologies for headlights in the option. Plus Audi - the ability to include AUDI Matrix LED in the package with intelligent lighting. Golf has only in the Highline assembly there is a function of the dynamic tracking of the steering position, while the competitor has an optional complex for all modifications. This is a great help for the driver when driving in the dark: the system automatically switches the road signs from the area of \u200b\u200billumination and reduces their glare, reacts to moving objects and pedestrians; Working in a pair with a navigation system, the lighting is ahead of the steering movement at the entrance of the car in turn.

Interior

According to ergonomics, car salons are not inferior to each other, but the decoration leads Audi. This car is not distinguished by some progressive interior design, more close to the classic, but in each of its items it is felt style. In Volkswagen, they made a bet on functionality and practicality, forgetting about the aesthetic component.

The VW central panel turned out to be too overloaded. It was placed on it all that only it was possible: here and the climate system control unit, and the built-in multimedia display, and wide blowing deflectors, and even part of the transmission tunnel with an angle of the gearbox. The only plus in all this is the working zones deployed to the driver. Otherwise, the design of the torpedo looks boring.

Audi is increasingly concise, thanks to which the designers managed to emphasize the internal volume of this car. Round bulging deflectors and multimedian retractable display are originally. The advantage of this model before the competitor is the Optional Digital Dashboard of the Audi Virtual Cockpit with three-dimensional navigation.

A-third is better and the steering wheel: sports, round, three-spoken. Golf has a steering wheel with a bevelled bottom edge: trying to free the place for a comfortable fit, the designers did not guess with the convenience of control. According to VW lovers, one of the best steering wheel, which had ever had a golf, was a 4 generation ramp. In the concern, decided to smooth out the situation and added the standard option "Heated Steering" to the database.

The driver landing is more convenient than Golf. Audi failed to experiment with windshield angle, so even in the lowest position of the chair, the top line of the front glazing zone slightly closes the overview. Losing a golf in the body height, Audi cannot afford a large rear window and, accordingly, a large central rearview mirror, therefore, it is inconvenient to make pursuers in this car.

By comfort, the seats of the car are similar. In the database they have standard seats with adjustable in height and location relative to the steering wheel. But the rear passenger series turns out to be more comfortable at Audi, which, thanks to an enlarged wheelbase, can offer its passengers an extensive foot space. The head does not cling the ceiling either there, nor there, but at the expense of low beveled rear racks in Audi seems that the roof is pressed.

In terms of the volume of the trunk in the front-wheel drive versions, cars are equal: 380 liters of useful space to the level of the shelf. It is worth folding the backs of the back chairs and remove the limiter, and more things are placed in the golf than in the third (1270 against 1180 liters). The two-level floor is not news for modern cars, the difference from these models is only that in the Audi you get the dock, and in the golf, the full size of the reserve.

Both vehicles - Exemplary representatives C-Class, capable of confirming the quality of the German automotive industry. They differ in the complete set, because Golf is a classic city hatchback, and Audi has received a fitback in the same body, so it's a second to show my audacity. In the conditions of imperfect Russian roads, he, despite his pretty hard suspension and high-profile tires, shows a greater smoothness of the course, while Golf gives comfort to its passengers in the metropolis mode. If VW had a more powerful engine, he would not give a victory A3, because the price is played by one of the key points when buying. For the same money it is better to buy a fully charged golf than to purchase the initial version of Audi.

A modern average Russian man does not actively look towards car salons. Salaries at enterprises grow too slowly, not spending behind the prices and expenses of the modern family. Therefore, more and more motorists are forced to change their very old cars for not so old. At the same time, there is no need to pay a lot of money, as you can sell your car at a bargain price and find a well-acceptable offer in the secondary market. You can simply make a key replacement key to a key or with a small surcharge, gradually changing your car to more acceptable versions of technology. Each has its own strategy to improve movement conditions. Today we will tell about how to choose and buy on the secondary market Volkswagen Golf 6 generation. This car was sold in Russia pretty well, the start of his sales came at the time of the heyday of the economy, so many were able to afford a new VW.

Today in the secondary market, respectively, a lot of suggestions for the sale of the car. There are both simple and inexpensive equipment, and quite acceptable options for equipping. But with 6 golf technique there are many questions about which you should remember. The car is not as simple as Golf V, which was one of the most reliable cars in the history of the concern (at least in the C-class). By the way, until today, the machine looks very good, many cheaper brands have not yet caught up with VAG quality design. Over time, the car looks better and continues to serve its owners well. But to obtain real pleasure from the operation of the car it is worth the right to approach the choice. Selection is essential. Today we will deal with the main aspects of the acquisition of the used VW Golf of this generation and tell a little about the car itself.

Is it worth buying a golf at all - what are the advantages?

Auto generation was produced from 2009 to 2013. This is the time before the crisis, when the Russians could afford to buy a foreign car for 22-25 thousand dollars and pay a loan for a couple of years. Today, Golf is not for sale in Russia, and its main competitors are not cheaper than 22,000 cu. in salons. At least, if we are talking about good grades. Nevertheless, even a used German wins in many ways from his rivals. Here are some important points of 6 generations:

• the car was completely reinforced, it does not like the predecessor at all in any kind of aspect, especially differing in terms of the feeling of operation;
• sporty youth style fit well into the structure and image of the brand, the car causes only positive impressions of operation, the build quality is simply magnificent;
• all items in place, the seats are perfectly tailored, on the front armchairs support is unobtrusive, but it performs its tasks very well, everything is at hand, it is easy to control the machine;
• control closer to sports, there are versions of GTI and R for real sports lovers, not only characteristics, but also important details of the appearance are changed in sports versions;
• the car is comfortable, despite its apparent stiffness, go to the golf is pleasantly even for not very high-quality road, there is no unnecessary shaking, there is no feeling of fatigue on the road.

These features are waiting for you if you choose a decent golf version not with the biggest mileage. It should be noted that this is not the Volkswagen, when buying which it is not necessary to pay any attention to mileage. It costs to carefully look at the car, determine its possible weaknesses, as the repair will cost an indecent much money. Therefore, let's proceed to the analysis of the main details of the purchase of such a car.

Modifications VW Golf VI - what better to choose used?

Many buyers who are not familiar with the latest news from Volkswagen are confident that the motors and boxes when buying a car do not need to check. It has not been relevant for a long time. The engines remained in the past, which served 500,000 km without repair and had unbounded attachments. In the case of golf sixth generation to the technique there may be a lot of questions. Pay attention to the features of the machine on the secondary market:

• most popular motors - the atmospheric 1.6 for 102 forces and 1.4 TSI for 122 horses, turbine engines begin to give problems per 100,000 km, so it's better atmospheric;
• the gearboxes on the engine 1.6 - the traditional mechanics or machine, on the turbocharged units, put the mechanics or the DSG robot, to buy which is accurate;
• the biggest problems in the technique arise with TSI turbines and DSG robots, especially on cars 2009-2010 release, after that VW modified aggregates;
• occasionally come across the aggregates of 1.4 liters on 80 forces - the weakest atmospheric motors, there are no special problems with them, but you will not receive pleasure from operation;
• diesel engines are extremely rare, during this generation, diesel engines are not officially sold in Russia, so that the proposed options are brought cars from Europe.

The cars brought from another country most often have problems with documents and are not too pleased with the quality (it could be a designer or car after a serious accident, flooding). So the diesels recommend simply producing out of the view. The best solution for the machine is a gasoline engine 1.6 by 102 horsepower with a mechanical 5-speed gearbox. This is the easiest kit that will walk for a long time in normal service. More modern modifications may be problematic.

Configuration, prices and secrets shopping golfing used

Only one advice can be given about the packages - it is better to choose the car only with the most necessary for your comfort items. Various technological installations that are 8 years ago were modern, today is no longer used and are not a good addition for your car. A good choice will be a car with climate control, cruise control, good discs, heated seats and successful music. At prices such groups can be distinguished:

• up to 350,000 rubles - production machines of 2009, which already have a mileage for 200,000 km and clearly need certain works, such cars can be bought for recovery;
• from 350,000 to 400,000 rubles - the most common category for searching for a car of this class, it is in this price category that it is worth looking for a car in good condition;
• from 400,000 to 480,000 rubles - newer cars 2010-2011 releases with moderate mileage (which you need to check for the subject), you overpay for confidence in quality;
• from 480,000 to 550,000 rubles - a category in which you can buy quite good golf in excellent condition with a suitable set for you, there is a choice of colors, motors and boxes;
• over 550,000 rubles - either inappropriate overpayment, or buying a sports, designer version of the car for which you are ready to pay more than the average market offers.

Purchase of golf 6 with a mileage for 200,000 km is always a lottery. Machines with such indicators on the odometer are already pretty tired, they have many pronounced problems, which will find a specialist in a good station. Therefore, before buying a car, it is better to turn to a hundred and conduct a check, the diagnosis of all parts. Only after that you can finally decide on the purchase of transport.

Competitors - what else to look at the secondary market?

Before buying a car it is worth studying the market and understand which models can be purchased for your money. It is possible that the market will offer even more interesting competitive options. Let's consider other auto 2010-2012 issues in the same price range as golf without tosing to specific classes and segments. That is, the following are exclusively price rivals Volkswagen in different categories:

1. Skoda.Octavia.A5 2010-2012 of the year. Auto after restyling can be bought with more interesting engines, including 1.8 TSI. The price of the car on average is 400,000 rubles, but you can find representatives and cheaper.
2. FordFocus 2010.. The machine promises a very comfortable trip, quite an attractive appearance, reliability of each unit in the ruler and quite worthy equipment. Price from 350,000 rubles.
3. Chevrolet.Cruze 2010.. In addition to low landing and a few small clearance, the car has no special problems. Korean engines, atmospheric, simple, traditional boxes and without expensive parts. Cost from 350,000 rubles.
4. Renault.MeganeIII 2011.. The third generation Megan was sold in Russia, but you need to be attentive. Many cars bring from Europe, there are problems with them both in terms of fuel quality and possible damage. Cost from 400,000 rubles.
5. OpelAstraJ 2011.. The last generation of Astra, which was sold in Russia. The car is very worthy of assembly quality, simple technology, no expensive and unpleasant breakdowns. The cost of Astra J starts with 400,000 rubles.

You can continue the search by expanding it to completely different classes of machines. You can say that to compare Golf and Megane does not make sense, these are completely different categories of buyers. But you may like the Frenchman more, so it is worth checking all the possible options. Moreover, in the secondary market, you should buy the car that you will find in very good condition.

We also offer to watch a video overview of the sixth golf and make a final purchase decision:

Let's sum up

Today, the experts of the secondary car market in many ways rated against Volkswagen cars. Newer versions of the car are not advised at all to buy used, as the technique is very demanding and incredibly complex in service. For Russian operating conditions, most technical aggregates are not suitable, they often supply and spoil the image of the brand. But in many ways, this militia is part of the struggle against the brand and the competitive market. If you ask the owner of the Golf or another model VAG, he will say that it is quite satisfied with his purchase.

So we recommend paying attention to your own impressions of the trip by car, and not on someone's recommendations and expert advice. If you have found Volkswagen Golf VI with excellent quality and excellent performance, it is worth buying it. But the competitive market will not expect an excess. There are many interesting options here that will attract you with designs, motors, salon sizes and other parameters. And what car would you prefer today in the secondary market in the golf class?

Volkswagen is a truly popular brand of the car, but the question of which model gives preference, Jetta or VW golf is relevant. To solve this problem of choice, we suggest evaluating their appearance and basic technical specifications. As a rule, this approach allows you to answer all the questions of the potential buyer and helps to decide on the choice.

The comparative characteristics of Jetta and Golf cars, presented in the table below, are approximate because of the vehicle passport data. As a result, during operation VW Jetta or VW Golf, they may differ slightly. But in general, the data will make a conclusion about the possibility of a particular car and determine preferences.

Hanging Quality and Comfort VW Jetta VS VW Golf

When considering the chassis, as well as the existing equipment of the VS engine capabilities, these cars, if different, then slightly. Yes, and reasons for differences, because Jetta appeared after the Volkswagen golf, as its modification, but more improved. The Volkswagen developers made the appearance and type of body - sedan differ from the VW golf. Otherwise, they decided to refrain from any innovations, since at that time Golf was the leader of sales and decided only to "propagate" due to the new type of body, which became more like fans of Volkswagen.

As a result of many years of operation of VW Golf VS VW Jetta cars and small improvements, today each of them can boast of their technical characteristics. For example, Volkswagen Golf has a smaller total weight and a smaller turning angle, although the difference in these indicators is insignificant if compared with the Jetta model. However, for someone it will become a determining factor when choosing a car.

In turn, to determine that golf or jetta will be operated better, it is necessary to find out the possibilities of force aggregates. Jetta can boast of greater engine capacity, high speed abilities, as well as a lower toxicity rate (CO 2 release). In addition, Jetta has a larger fuel tank, winning indicators for cargo transportation. Also certain advantages of VW Jetta compared to Golf are:

• staffing chrome-plated overlay on the front bumper;
• the presence of foglights;
• climatic interior control;
• automatic transmission;
• rear LED lights;
• vS wheels R16 rubber;
• more powerful rear shock absorbers;
• the presence of a transverse stabilizer, which makes it possible to load more into the trunk.

But still, Volkswagen Jetta has a small drawback - this is not always available spare parts for cars of the last generations. Since technical features and innovative developments that are used in the production of parts of the VW Jetta body are not always, subsequently, can be fully reproduced. Therefore, when choosing, it is necessary to understand that with any serious malfunctions or breakdowns, you will have to look for not only a specialized service center, but also a reliable supplier of original spare parts and body elements.

Body and Dimensions VW Jetta VS VW Golf

Golf belongs to the class of hatchback and is designed for operation in a family - domestic plan, family departure to nature. As for the Volkswagen Jetta model - it refers to the class of sedans and is more comfortable for business trips. The trunk is better at VW Jetta, as it is more than that of the VW Golf of the last generation, which will not limit yourself when collecting baggage.

Jetta exceeds golf by overall sizes and consumes a little more fuel, but slightly. As for the design of VS spaciousness of the salon - the Jetta has its advantages here, and it is more comfortable, which allows you to conveniently accommodate and enjoy the trip. If necessary, the rear places can be equipped with a children's chair.

Design VS Price Golf & Jetta

Jetta decorated slightly more modern, the golf is a bit simple in performance, although it refers to the category of "premium class". As for the price, Jetta has a very not a modest price tag, as a result, its regular service costs the owner of the expense. These are certainly not defining factors when choosing, because in each case case the price implies a different optional set, both at the Golf hatchback and the Jetta sedan.

As practice shows, Volkswagen Jetta or its analogue VW Golf is still two different cars, which, over time, acquired each special external design and operational purpose. Golf is a classic version of the automotive industry, Jetta is a more innovative style.
