VW Jetta SE tdi dsg - J500ANT

I've just bought one of these, a 07/57 ex hire job from a VW main dealer at what I think is a very good price (£10k) considering Glass's guide px is £10700!!

Does anyone have any comments about this model?

VW Jetta SE tdi dsg - runboy

Is this the 1.9 or 2.0 tdi? I have a cousin of this car - the Octavia 2.0 tdi DSG so would be interested to hear how you find the auto box if you do any driving in heavy traffic - I find the dsg not that smooth when on and off the gas compared to a conventional auto box. Not a bad price - did it come with any extras as when we looked at the Jetta a lot of the fancy extras came as packs whereas the Octavia had them as standard.

its the 1.9. Its got a load of kit as standard - no options added but things like cruise control, ESP, auto lights & wipers is standard.

My partner had a SEAT Altea DSG 2.0 tdi and that wasnt bad in traffic, and we had that for 15k so i'm happy with the DSG set up. I wont be using the car in town much anyway.

If your car is jerky around town, maybe it needs a clutch adjustment?
