    Diesel vs. Hybrid

    There's more than one way to build an environmentally-friendly car. While carmakers lament their overflowing lots full of unsold cars, slow demand isn't a problem for Volkswagen's 2009 Jetta TDI, the first passenger car with a clean-diesel engine that gets 40 miles per gallon on the highway...

    Diesel Gets Its Green Card

    Artical link on www.msn.com Jan. 09, 2009 Volkswagen has the Jetta TDI sedan and Sportwagen. Starting at just over $22,000, they're federally rated at 30/41 mpg in city/highway driving. But here's the first real-world benefit: Most diesels, unlike gas cars and hybrids, can top their...

    2009 Tdi

    My alignment is off too Nice TDI motoblue, my red 09 TDI also has an alignment issue. Noticed the steering wheel off just a few degrees so I called to make sure my dealer is aware. It rolls without any drift or pull so I will wait until the first service to request the fix.

    I checked my 09 TDI mpg and the computer was spot on. I would guess that as the tires wear a bit the computer will be off a little.

    Yahoo…. I finally found my Jetta! I did some checking around and a dealer about 50 miles away has a car that I want on the lot. I put a deposit down at a dealer months ago. I called and ask them if they were going to take my deposit if I decide not to buy through them, they said; "no". Great...

    2009 Tdi

    I did not think the Nav was worth it so I have not ask about that. I am bless with being one of the top on the list. I get a call about TDI every couple of weeks. The big thing for me is the auto, sunroof, red color and tan interior. I also told them I would consider other light exterior and...

    2009 Tdi

    I ordered mine a couple of months ago. The salesperson later came back and told me that VW was not taking orders and what they get is what they get. I have turned down 8 TDI so far. I guess I am a bit picky. He also told me that the dealers that have sold their TDI get cars they don't expect...

    2009 Tdi

    I have not read a good reason as of yet to pay more than MSRP. All post I have read are excuses and not financially responsible. It seems more about status and having the first TDI on the block. So why don’t people just admit it? I just hope those of you that do pay more than MSRP have planned...
