    11th Annual Detroit Auto Show GTG - NAIAS 2018 - January 20 (aka WINTERFEST)

    There really is no real snow here to speak of. Supposed to be 35 to 40 on Friday and Saturday. Weather shouldn't be an issue.

    11th Annual Detroit Auto Show GTG - NAIAS 2018 - January 20 (aka WINTERFEST)

    My son has been asking me about going to the auto show again this year, so I'll probably be meeting up with you guys again. I'll fill out the questionnaire here before too long on the other items going on.

    Found my Passat Replacement

    My Honda CVT off the line isn't jumpy at all. I personally like the CVT, but if you stomp on it and expect rip roaring performance, you are going to be disappointed. Fortunately, I rarely, if ever, drive like that.

    We know what they did.....but WHY?

    Yes, my 2013 Passat TDI had AdBlue, the 2012's did as well.

    Volkswagen says US approves sale of modified diesel vehicles

    Do you think so? I would say people would avoid them at this point. I know I would not buy another one from VW.

    Farewell TDI Forum

    Maybe going downhill with a tailwind :) All kidding aside, the Hybrid Accord has 0 trunk room and the rear seats do not fold down at all. That's why I bought the 2.4L gas engine version. It is averaging about 31mpg on RUG. My TDI was around 41. But unleaded has been cheaper, so my...

    SMURFING mad

    I had them spill it once in the trunk, from there on out, I just asked them to put the jugs in the trunk and I would fill it myself when I got home.

    Will this forum exist after everyone in the US (some day Canada) takes the buyout

    I was very worried about this when my TDI was totaled. My cost per mile on my 2013 Passat TDI was 7.9c, while my 2016 Honda Accord is 6.4c. So, right now, the difference is obviously not what I expected,

    HPFP - actual failure rate?

    At one point I thought I had read of a few people in the NMS Passat having HPFP failures, but it seems that this model is generally not impacted. I would put the percentage at less than 1%.

    If you are considering buyback which cars are you looking at as replacements?

    To the recent poster who got the Civic, great choice. I personally like the styling, but then again I replaced my TDI with a 2016 Accord EX-L. While I am only a averaging 31MPG in my Accord (with no highway), versus 40 in my TDI, since gas is cheaper than diesel here in michigan, my average...

    VW Won't Attempt to Regain Diesel Leadership in US; Many TDI Models May Never Return

    I have the CVT in my Accord. I am perfectly happy with the performance. It's great in the fact that it never has to downshift when you press the pedal. And I am a very slow driver, so it's rare for my RPMs to go over 2k when I am accelerating. I can barely hear the engine or the trans...

    If you are considering buyback which cars are you looking at as replacements?

    My personal opinion, you find a salesguy you like offering a decent deal at a convenient dealership location and you go with it. These people need to make a living too, they have families to feed. If they do the legwork to find you the car, get you in test drives, etc then do the deal with...

    If you are considering buyback which cars are you looking at as replacements?

    I'm driving an Accord with the 4 cylinder. It outaccelerates my TDI. The 0-60 on the Passat TDI is around 9 seconds. The 0-60 time on the Accord I4 is 7.5 seconds. The 0-60 on the Accord V6 is 5.8 seconds.
