I'm currently considering A 2007 Passat, Jetta or Golf 5. But unfortunately, I don't have first-hand info on the respective fuel economies and maintenance cost. I think they are well designed cars (except for the Jetta. That stuff makes me frown ) so I'm tryna settle on one before the end of the year.

Any experience or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thoughts?

I use 06 jetta 2.5. car is a beast mehn. Only problem is lack of competent mechanic. If you are I'm lag please buy the jetta or golf #myselfishopinion

i would advice first dont go close to a Nigerian used one except you have a GOOD, TRUSTWORTHY, GOD FEARING mechanic to give and carry out a professional checkup on the said car.

but if you like a car, even if an M16 was placed on your head not to pick the car, you will still pick it. follow your heart, its more important than anybodys opinion

Ever driven a golf 5?

Yh, I'll have whatever car i want to buy scanned by a professional. My grouse is with the choice of car. My eyes is on the Passat and Golf 5. I think they're quite elegant cars (Though i rarely see the Golf 5 around, I wonder why). I'll prolly go mto a dealer and take them for a test drive. Just wanted to know others' experience with them. Anyone of them is fine by me. I don't go out much, so my car almost always has just me inside. I don't even drive to work everyday becaue my office is now very close and it's cheaper to go by bus, but I'll have a great deal on whichever of the cars i choose, hence my asking for imput especially as regards fuel economy.

Thanks

I have posted a link to fuel economy for all the cars and others. The golf 5 isn't common because

1. The price is a staggering 2m +, I think I would prefer to buy a sedan than a miniature racer.

2. VW products are complex. I have seen what Kazeem do to their TSI AND FSI engines. Once it's touched there is no going back

3. Golf 5 is targeted at youths, majorly high school students. How many of them earn legally enough to afford it? And those who can would rather buy Camry or avalon
