- 2013 Jetta TDI w/ Premium, DSG (Buyback Nov 2018); 2013 Jetta TDI (bought Dec 2018); also, bought a CPO 2017 Passat TSI (Nov 2018)
I know this has been discussed in tiny bits in probably 100 different threads, but maybe I can just get some specific info here.
I'm doing the BB on my '13 Jetta in a few months, and I'm debating between replacing it with a '15 CPO Passat TDI or a '15 CPO Jetta TDI. I'll probably give a gas model a look and test drive too, but I have a feeling I'm going to get a TDI. I used to have a 2003 Passat, liked it a lot, but the new ones are quite different.
So, in terms of Passat TDI vs Jetta TDI, I know the Jetta, I love it. I imagine that people are going to say the Passat is a little bigger, a little more luxurious, a little heavier, and probably a little more expensive. That I know already. What I'm most interested in is driving experience, "fun to drive" quotient, handling, cornering, etc. I imagine that the Jetta is a bit more nimble, more sporty, but are we talking about small differences or big differences? I'd like to hear from people who have a decent amount of experience with both cars.
