Didn't ask you.....Personal preference but the styling is not for me. Looks dated already.
I owned a 2013 Jetta Hybrid SEL premium for nearly 2 years before buying the new Jetta!it is an old dated design! it had the options I wanted and desired! and a stuff I always wanted on a Jetta TDI but was never available! Now the TDI has the options ...including Hids, comfortronic back up camera and front and rear updates plus the new safety options to include Blind spot MoonitoringI and a new TDI engine so I bought it! Can't wait to pick it up and show it off!

As long as it does not look like a Nissan Cube than the styling is great.
Its personal preference. In 2002 I though my five A4's I bought look good, now I think they look dated. This design to me looks a lot like my 2002.
Take the grill off the Jetta and I'm not sure I could tell the difference between a Toyota Camry and the Jetta from an external quartering shot.

Whatever......since 1999 I have owned 3 B4 Passat TDI's, 1 A3 TDI, 1 A4 TDI, 1 B5.5 Passat TDI, 2 A5 TDI's 1 of them a Sportwagen.....1 A6 Jetta Hybrid and now an A6 Jetta TDI! I still like the B4's the best and they are really dated!!

I don't understand this:
Is this a typo or perhaps a misunderstanding? What am I missing?

nothing The torque rating is the same as the OLD engine however it doesn't feel like the old engine

Just because torque peaks at 3500 RPM doesn't mean there isn't still gobs of it down low. Still grunts like a VW TDI.

Tomo, congratulations. The naysayers should hold there thoughts for another time.
If he likes the car, the color and the options I say go for it.
Again congratulations and many happy years and KMs/Miles.

Looks nice, Tomo. Don't know what's more surprising, the car or no snow on the ground.

Congratulations Tomó! (Dontcha just love when autocorrect does that!). I love the color. Cream or black interior?
Yeah, we already had a ton of snow and we're now getting a 2 day snow that will add another foot to it. It feels like the way winter was in the olden days!

My 96 B4 has only 181k miles on it - of course it runs like a charm -after a new fuel pump though. With the just recently put in bilstein shocks the 'old dog' is really fun to drive and I don't drive like an old man despite the fact that I am.
.....outdated, yes....looking for a new 2015 sportwagen now; but every time I drive the 'old dog' I know I will have a really hard time to part with it.
Congrats to your new lady in red!

I had been driving our Storm Gray 1996 Passat TDI for the last 6 weeks waiting for the new ride......it has 174,000 and a 100,000 mile Euro AHU motor.....I tried to sell it (96 Passat) last summer here on the Club for 2500.....no one wanted it...amazing!!
Glad I kept it. All the regular B4 Passat stuff happened while I was driving those few weeks! 3 of 4 door handles needed repair, Got the door bonk a couple times, front brakes started making noise the other day.....roof leaks ! Right rear window doesn't open....Still love the car! it will revert to back up status again and I get to fix everything again! Love the B4's
