2011 Golf TDI 6 speed(gone but NEVER forgotten)
GOLF. I just test drove both with my sister in law this weekend in Waterloo. jetta ia a mess this year. feels so cheaped out but selling like crazy. Why? corolla and civic buyers are crossing town and leasing cheapie jettas for under 300 bucks a month...that is why.
VW has done exactly what they wanted. the Golf test drive sealed the deal with her. maybe a wagon but a golf . golf are so understated and yet so beautifully crafted. worth all the money. by the way spoke to an old time mechanic there....NOT ONE single fuel pump issue since CRs introduced. in canada this fuel issue is non exhistent. use a bit of additive and drive.

I have two Jetta's, 09/03. But a 2 door GTD Golf is a smaller version that I have my eyes on!

I'm torn?!? 2011 GOLF TDI or 2011 Jetta TDI Reply to Thread

go for the Golf -- I just bought the 2011 Jetta and afterwards found out that the reasons I wanted a Jetta in the first place were taken from the new Jetta. The rear suspension was completely changed. VW put in a cheaper beam link instead of the tight independent link. You can upgrade to the nav system afterwards, they're plug 'n' play (I did this) with a little vag-com adjustment. On hind sight, I'd go Golf. Both are good cars, but if you don't need the "4 body" trunk space -- Go Golf.

Geotdi that makes perfet sense! Drivers car i guess! Amen to US a4 tdi! It better happen ....SOON!

BigArniedog which would you say brakes accelerates n corners better?

For me its just hard because i really dont like the look of the newer golfs..
The Golf is a lighter car (weight wise) so the golf would hold a slight performance edge in all testing.

Looks pretty ... did it come from the dealer with a tint that dark or is that something you had them do or requested from them?

(first post!) Beautiful, Geo! I looked long and far for a United Gray with your options, and all four dealers said 'impossible' - in particular the NAV. Last Saturday I settled on a black 2011 DSG/sunroof/CWP and I am very happy. Oh, they tossed-in splash guards and side body molding to seal the deal.

Just saw one in person, only subtle differences from the golf and it looks much more aggressive. It wouldn't be hard to make a tdi look like that.
