Re: VW Jetta TDI in SPEED World Challenge

Can you really entrust any credence upon the judgement of a man who for whatever unknow reason, he could not fathom the W button on the Golf GT TSI stands for the Winter Program?

Seriously, I lost my respect for Clarkson after I read his review on the Golf GT.

Ah yes the Jetta. Well, as I stated in another thread, I've always liked the booted versions of the Golf.

The Bora is my favorite out of all the other Golf Saloons.




What Jeremy Clarkson reckons the new Jetta is boring. I reckon it is understated - the Jetta Sport 2.0 16V Turbo with a DSG gearbox is a Golf GTI without the image and a bigger boot.

Tell me which other Compact Saloon looks this Classy?




I tell you: Not many!

P.S: The W button on the Golf GT stands for the Winter Program, which reduces power and torque in 1st and 2nd gear. Since he did not have a clue what the button did I think we can assume that he drove around in "W" mode all the time, hence the poor performance and jerkiness.

Yup, it's Jim.

And, yes, I watch SPEED WC. I love it! Generally, it's a support race for ALMS, so, I get to see it live when I go to Mosport.
