    Introducing myself, a story in parts

    I just bought my second TDI (first one was a 2011 Golf TDI from VW of S. Charlotte). They treated me well (and still do) as I just bought a 2013 JSW TDI the end of July. You are going to love the car, I don't think I'll buy anything buy a VW TDI going forward. I'm not sure how Carolina VW is...

    You guys are making me nervous...

    I love my black on black JSW. I live in the south so it does get awfully steamy inside, but that is why God created air conditioning and power windows. Just a side note: I just traded in my 2011 Golf TDI with close to 63K miles and only spent $866 in maintenance cost (standard 10K dealership...

    Bye bye 11 Golf TDI...hello 13 JSW TDI

    Yeah but I'll be honest I am loving the push button start. No more fumbling for keys.

    Bye bye 11 Golf TDI...hello 13 JSW TDI

    DSG sadly...the odds of finding a JSW TDI with sunroof and navigation with a manual is like trying to needle in a massive haystack. But I'm not complaining, I have to admit minus the instinctive hunting for a clutch pedal the first couple of days, its nice not having to shift. None in the US...

    2013 TDI economy

    I just bought a 2013 JSW TDI and currently I am averaging 46.5mpg (DSG). Of course I came from a 11 Golf TDI (6MT) that averaged 47.52mpg over the course of 63K miles. I haven't any concerns just yet with my new 13 TDI w/ DSG yet.

    Finally...800 Mile Club!

    The closest I was ever able to get out of my 2011 Golf TDI (6MT) was 790 miles out of a tank, and that was as far as I dared push it. Averaged: 52.96mpg that tank, and that was old lady driving and watching my revs.

    Bye bye 11 Golf TDI...hello 13 JSW TDI

    No I brought my Golf in to the dealer on day and they had a set of GTI Detroit wheels (new) for sale for $699 w/ tires. So I snatched them up. When I bought the JSW, I told them to swap out the wheels.

    Bye bye 11 Golf TDI...hello 13 JSW TDI

    I hated to say goodbye to my first TDI ...but my salesman made me an offer I couldn't refuse (pardon the pun). And now I am sporting a loaded 2013 Jetta Sportwagen TDI (Sun&Nav) Just ordered a new Yakima rack for the roof to carry my road bike/skis around, then its on to the tint shop, and...
