I am not surprised, but what got me scratching my head is, Volkswagen Jetta 1.6L natural aspirated engine Runs like a mad dog, so I really can't understand how & why?

On the other hand I refuel this car days ago, & I have been driving around Town & my fuel guage just keep steering at me like, are you surprised?

I ain't going no where bro... so it's amazing 8.4L per 100km on highway you can get more mpg with the manual transmission even way better than Corolla 1.8L 2003 to 2006 which is 8.4L per 100km on highway I think Volkswagen jetta hits hard, it even better with 1.6L engines equipped with air pump.. better horsepower less fuel consumption..

You just answered yourself with the Google search you added to your post. But looking again, the corolla XRS has a bigger camry 2.4 engine inside instead of the 1.8 litre in the normal corolla. It is also manual only car. The XRS is not common but its powerful

XRS is way fuel efficient compared to base model Corolla

Well 3.4 gallons on highway is 12.8 liters per 100km for 1.8L Corolla 2003 to 2006, almost 13 liters of fuel on highway that's terrible!

When jetta 1.6L is take have of what Corolla takes 6.4L per 100km, listen I am not here to argue with you, here you are already sounding bitter,

I am trying to figure out why many saying that Corolla have a great fuel economy when it really don't have anything close.

My research on this, the data about the fuel consumption rate was placed in gallons per 100km instead of liters, but jetta 1.6L fuel data is in Liters which is way less compared to gallons.

1.8L corolla take 3.4 gallons per 100km is crazy fuel drinker,

Japanease are not tech guru compared to vw group, it's just a difference of 0.2, but the reall question is, what did German do thier 1.6L engine that it takes such mind boggling 6.4 liters of fuel per 100km on high way?

My overall analysis is, Corolla don't come half close to greate fuel economy as many are parading, Peugeot with 2.0 liters saves more fuel compared to that toyota Corolla Nigerians can be quick into jumping into conclusions,

Nigerians are not concerned if it's manual transmission or automatic, don't be sarcastic, all the national anthem they kept ranting is, it have a great fuel economy, without testing out other car brands before making those outrageous false claims & noise,

I like this car and the passat.

I would like to buy one but people keep saying bad things about the Nigerian used ones, and how complex it is to fix German cars.

I am just confused.

Tell me, what do you advise for a first timer going for this... The jetta or Passat.

Considering the cost of maintenance and availability of parts.

What do you think, please?

My research on this, the data about the fuel consumption rate was placed in gallons per 100km instead of liters, but be 1.6 is giving theirs fuel consumption in Liters which is way less compared to gallons. 1.8L take 3.4 gallons per 100km is crazy fuel drinker,

By The design concept of 1.6L specs should normally take less fuel than 1.8L Corolla

My overall analysis is Corolla don't have fuel economy as many are parading, Peugeot with 2.0 liters saves more fuel compared to that toyota Corolla Nigerians can be quick into jumping into conclusions,

Nigerians are not concerned weather it's manual transmission or automatic don't be sarcastic, all the national anthem they kept ranting it, it have a great fuel economy, without testing out other cars before making those outrageous false claims

honestly when I see people claiming that corolla fuel efficiency as super,two things come to my mind,either that the only car they have driven before or the only car with the best fuel economy they have driven,bros you no lie, I'm not even impressed with my corolla fuel consumption rate, not because its bad,but because I don drive cars before way more fuel efficient than the corolla, in fact a lot of its competitors brand are more fuel efficient, like civic, kia Rio etc,is better to stick to saying is very rugged car and strong car,but if you say na fuel economy be the major selling point,you don fail cos dem beat am well well in that dept,if you are in doubt try other competitor brand without any bias mind and tell us your experience.. Lol.

Lol. People with all kinds of hidden agendas on this thread

Jump and pass

your analysis is quite new to me. I'll try to look into it. Thanks for giving me another line of thought.

setup ear and dear

I drive 2005 Passat 1.6 liters engine & am enjoying d fuel economic to compare to Toyota corolla that eat up ...

In this life, it is advisable never to follow the herd mentality of Nigerians,

I realized that some car brands from Mazda, Nissan, Honda, and Volkswagen etc that are more fuel economical than this Corolla variant.

I don't go with crowds of lunatics opinions and perceptions about any car, most often times their fear is as a result of their poor maintenance habit which often leads them to looking for a pig that's not dirty, meaning trying to let a functioning lunatic fix their car cos they are dirt cheap in charging for service charges.
Most of these lunatics have no basics tools for the job not to mention fundamental tools or knowledge adequate enough to so successfully troubleshoot & fix the problems with this piece of engineering, next is an outcry that german cars are money pits. I have golf versions 3 & 4, Jetta & passat, no headache some will say it's cos I am a mechanic not even certified one but I know more than just average mechanics, in other words who says it has to be a lunatics who should fix too tech car when those who engineered are smartest intelligent groups?

If you want to go into owing this model, have two things in mind, you need a professional to handle it electronics issues that comes up once in a blue moon, no trial & error not cutting corners, this is not Toyota that anything goes.

Second you need have good maintenance habit, their parts last like Mercedes parts but what people fear most is electronics & electrical cos they are always looking for shortcuts. Aside for mondeo that's within my collection all my cars are Volkswagen.

If you have this two this checked correctly, you will be replacing some mechanical parts once in 3 or 5 years. Drive through worst road ever it's not about vw,

Nigeria are full of band wagon groups, why did you think it's only the old Carina model that's competing with golf mk3 on high way? Aside that, next in the city of transport is Mazda the brain is, if the car lacks fuel economy & durability under heavy usage, Nigerian drivers will bench it, next if it doesn't have good fuel economy, the taxi man won't make profit using the car for taxi, cos oil, fuel & cost of maintenance will swallow the entire more & even more. In line of Corolla it's solely used by private individuals cos this folks have no idea the fuel consumption rate per 100k the real expectancy. If people get to discover this other models with 100% more fuel efficient than Toyota, their shares will drop, but Nigeria is facing economic meltdown that don't give average people breathing space to use their resources to it fullest potential, if you are talking about fuel efficiency, the cylinder bore size matters, you need engine with smaller bore 1.0 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.8 will take more fuel compared to 1.4L same goes with 2.4L which most Camry model came equipped with, vw designed more efficient engines like TSI 3 piston 1.0 1.2L engines yes is turbocharged, but that's the kick ass for fuel efficiency engine, not 1.8 or 2.0, 2.2 try Nissan micra or i10 Hyundai Kia picanto this are tiny cars with astronomical fuel efficiency.

So if you see 1.6 va model, it will be a big mistake to compare it fuel efficiency to Toyota models cos itz 100% incredibly difference.

All you need for Volkswagen is electronics sensors OEM & you will have the road to head paved with smooth ride on..

Volkswagen cars with 1.6 liter engine is the real deal when you talk about natural aspirated engines, it gets even more better with the TSI new innovation of 1.0L that's like running the car with nothing but air, the fuel economy will be competitive with the hybrid system..

I have a foreign used 2012 Jetta I am giving out for 2.5m only, market value is 3.8m upwards.

Leave naija peeps with their bias. I have a Honda civic 2010 (for sale), and I had a Honda Civic 2008, that are far more powerful than the vapid corolla and consume even less fuel, despite that online mpg rating place them side by side with a corolla. I own a yaris 2010, also far far better, infact my mama 2004 crv save fuel pass corolla even 7 years down the line..and all are far better looking, not a thief magnet and have been so reliable. I have actually grown to hate that particular gen of corolla sotey i no fit buy am even for resale despite say na hotcake. I can't picture driving it or having it in my compound. Lol

You can express your opinion freely without using the word "lunatic". There are many reasons people go for Toyota brands especially that yeye Corolla, not only because of fuel consumption.

The car have great resale value compared to the brands you mentioned. For me, I will pick v6 engines anytime any day over 4 plug engines. I sincerely can't tell much difference and i.don't care about fuel consumption. Even with that you still see people saying all manner of rubbish about it without driving one.

If there is one car I hate most, it is that Corolla. You can blame people with bandwagon mentality. In naija especially this car dealers, dey will rubbish other car models just to buy it from you at ridiculously cheap price.

Hello bro...good morning...thanks for your input concerning this...I'm about getting the 2010 model...not Nigerian used ooo...do you think it's best or what year do you think is better...thanks brotherly

I don't know how and why someone will comparing German machines with Japanese cars. Nigerians with their limited knowledge
