Replying to: backy (Nov 08, 2006 10:21 am) But thats completely beside the point. Volkswagen does not make the jetta to really to compete with these cars. Vw calls the jetta a midsize sedan. Ever see the 'how the rabbit stacks up against the civic' ads from volkswagen? That is thier inteded target with this car, the jetta is for a different demographic, kind of a wierd one, but thats just how it is.

the toyota corolla should not even be mentioned in the same breath as the rabbit or jetta.i test drove a corolla before deciding on the rabbit and there is no comparison really.the rabbit blows the doors off of the corolla in all categories.power,handleing,build quaility,and safety features,as well as overall features for the buck.

By the way have you heard of the Auris, the Corolla's presumed successor? See: http://www.autobloggreen.com/2006/11/07/sleek-toyota-auris-hatchback-diesel-and-- petrol-coming-to-europ/ |

Replying to: eldaino (Nov 09, 2006 10:50 am) Look at comparisons between the 2005 Mazda3 s and the 2005 Honda Civic EX, not even close! The Honda Civic is like a go-cart with doors compared to that year of Mazda3. Now, look at what Honda did to maintain competitive. Yes, the Corolla in this comparison, does not stack up well against the competition, but, let's do this comparo again after Toyota comes out with something new. I'm sure they are aware that their little Corolla is in need of a serious makeover. On a side note, it's way to early to see if the VW will be reliable. Their history points in the other direction, and right now, that's all we have to go on. |
