Vw Jetta Fsi 2018 Parts Manual
So I got a chance to take a quick look at a red one during a visit/meeting out at HQ last week. In short, the grille hurts me. I think if you removed one of the horizontal chrome strips and made it a 2 bar grille it would have made a hell of a difference. Also the car is wide and usefully wide at that.
Ton of space inside. Fit and finish for a early/launch car I have to say was really impressive.
The car is best shot from 3/4 angle. Like all Jetta's that have come before. The car also screams for big wheels. It will accommodate 19's evidently and I think that would make a HUGE difference. For the millionth time though. I'm waiting on the GLI and the changes that are going to be made there both under the bonnet and externally which is the car I think we all are waiting for to some degree.
I think it could look pretty good, but those wheels need to go and it needs to be lower.Has VW fixed their aluminum foil-thin oil pans yet? If not, no lower suspensions. I had a Mk IV Jetta, and dropped a front wheel into a water-filled pothole.
This exposed the belly of the beast to some sort of debris in the pothole or on the road, and it began leaking vital oil, like a wounded deer. The impact sounded and felt minor, but when I saw the damage, it seemed excessive for the impact that had occurred. Has VW fixed their aluminum foil-thin oil pans yet? If not, no lower suspensions.

But, you'll probably be disappointed to know that they now use plastic oil pans in that application. Has VW fixed their aluminum foil-thin oil pans yet? If not, no lower suspensions.

IIRC, that was only really an issue on the VR. My prediction for VWoA: They're going the way of Mazda, where the only strong sales come from the Atlas. Unlike Mazda, VWoA just doesn't offer anything good any more, except for the Mk-VII Golf family, which Americans don't care about. After the Mk-IV, we got a Corolla look-alike, then a shrunken + cheapened Passat (which was already cheapened vs. ROW models) - and I own one, I know - now this pricey cold mess.
Stale design, base models are laughably decontented (I know, I had one as a loaner), crazy expensive V6 options. More $$$ and less CUV goodness vs.
Competition (reportedly). I never thought the day would come where Honda is what I'm planning next, while giving VW the cold shoulder. What a difference a Millenium makes.
I'll still nver get over the styling but they weren't kidding about how the engineering of MQB allowed them to pour on the features and keep the price competitive. Just moving one notch up to SE gets you 8-speed auto, pano roof, full keyless access, dual-zone climate, heated seats, a good amount of the driver assist functions, and a color touchscreen with CarPlay. You don't even have to move up to the very top trim to get a big touchscreen, ambient lighting, digital cockpit, beatsaudio, adaptive cruise, lane keep, automatic high beams, and other stuff.
If I could just add ventilated seats somehow, an SEL would be perfect for me. I'd even take leatherette. Really interested to see what the GLI will bring.

We can gripe all we want, but if VW can at least somewhat go the Hyundai/Kia route and offer tons of standard equipment for the money, along with a strong warranty, then it should do well towards elevating their sales to a much better level than they've been the last decade or so. The Jetta was one of the last compact sedans you could get with a manual transmission and features like heated seats and a sunroof. Now like almost everything else in its class, if you want to row your own gears you'll be stuck with either the base model or the sporty model (assuming the forthcoming GLI will even be available with a manual, after the DSG-only 2018 GLI). That being said, even the base S model isn't as bare-bones as some of its competitors, which give you plastic wheel covers, rear drum brakes, and even manual roll-down windows in the rear.

They don't want to stock them. Although in Canada, every Jetta trim can be had with a manual. The limited availability of manual transmission is probably at the request of the dealers.

2018 you can only get the 1.4T in manual 2019, only the base model S is available in manual This doesn't include the GLI This annoyed me greatly when Jetta shopping because I really would have liked the 1.8T with a manual + sunroof but that's not an option. I either had to move up to a GLI or down to the SE. I went with the 1.4T SE but I ended up losing bixenon option, navigation and foglights.

Fiesta Civic EX-T has the 1.5T, 6-speed manual, heated cloth seats and a sunroof Mazda3 has the stick on all three trims with either engine - here is a midrange Touring with the 2.5, 6-speed, heated seats and a sunroof Impreza Sport (wouldn't really categorize it as sporty) Elantra Sport (maybe a little sporty).

The only reason they were DSG only for 2018 was because they were winding-down production in order to build the MQB cars. The GLI will have a manual available. I think silverspeedbuggy was the one, but I wouldn't swear to it.
