I too considered Golf TSI, Jetta & Passat before settling down with CT200h due to the technology (green) & luxury feel. But all these features cost money, so, the final factor is "tax free". Else, not easy too justify the saving of fuel. Am running at 5 liter/100 km (or less than 10 sens / km).
Klang Valley traffic jam every where, even at taman-taman now. Hybrid is the "best suited" cars for city life. The engine hardly starts, so will be less wear & tear. I strongly believe Hybrid cars are more reliable overall in city.
Can't accept the Golf TSI & Jetta come without leather seats & plain dashboard. CT200h wins hands down.
