2008 Volkswagen Jetta TSI review from Australia and New Zealand
"Sporty but elegant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
DSG seems to not find the gear properly at times. For example if you are taking off while its in second, sometimes when it goes to third there is a big kick before it gets to the next gear. Not sure if DSG is confused if it needs to go up or down a gear?
General comments?
The car is relatively quick but I think there should be some performance options available. There are chip upgrades that can increase your car from 147kw to around 190kw to complete with Subaru Liberty turbos etc.
