I am certainly happy with my Highline AT Jetta 2011

Exterior New design indeed gives an upmarket feel, particularly when the guy in BMW or Audi keeps staring at you at traffic light. Silver Leaf is the best shade though Toffee Brown is a close second as it gives a trendy feel (in my view). Overall feel is typically German.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Beige interiors makes it difficult to maintain. Legroom in the rear is more than adequate and best in class but the 5th pax in the centre will surely be UNWANTED and is inconvenienced due to A/C Duct. For 4 pax, absolutely no problem, a great car.

Other than the beige interiors, over feel is good with wood inserts along the doors and dash. Touch-screen music system is versatile but sadly lacks bluetooth feature. Navigation should have been given in Highline at least. Multi-Function DIsplay, Steering feel are best in class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is super-quite. Except for the start-up clutter of a typical diesel, during rides, one easily forgets that he's driving a diesel car. DSG gear-shifts give fantastic smooth ride. Haven't tried paddle-shifts yet as the natural pick-up itself is adequate in auto mode.

Fuel economy: Mumbai city - about 10km/litre (A/C) and Highways/Expressways - about 13.5-14 (A/C ON). Haven't tried with A/c off (to protect Beige interiors). I find it adequate enough considering that traffic is rising in Mumbai and on Highways too.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is certainly smooth on Driver's Seat. Haven't heard complaints from back-benchers so I presume it is equally good there too! Steering Wheel with leather cladding and controls feels like breeze when it comes to handling.

Final Words I am certainly happy with my Highline AT Jetta 2011. Keeping fingers crossed as it is just a month old. I reseve right to change of view once I have encountered Service Centre team and other aspects.

Areas of improvement If the company can take care of a split-second lag while stepping on the gas. but I guess it doesn't matter for non-racers.

Nice design, excellent DSG, super-silent TDI engineBeige interiors, would have preferred Bluetooth and Navigation in Highline version.
