2010 Jetta TDI BOUGHT BACK 23 NOV 16. Now owner of 2016 Jeep Cherokee
My GF was given a loaner 2011 2.5 gasser. The interior did not look any different then my 2010 in regards to material quality. My 2010 though may be seen by some as "cheaper then the 2009" as it did not have the rubberized plastic (Im glad cuzz it looks like crud after it nicks and discolors)

Anyways, I know the TDI does get disc brakes all around but does it get electric power steering and is it stuck with the 2011 torsion beam suspension?

Cant really find any good intel on those two things. I know the GLI is slated to keep all the euro features but was not sure about the TDI...

Funny the "cheaper" 2011 TDI comes in at a whopping 200 dollars cheaper then my 2010 and gives up a ton of stuff!

Yes to disc brakes, electric power steering. As for suspenstion it will be the same as every other model they have right now. GLI is suposed to have mutli link but TDI's have the torsion.
The "cheaper" TDI is actually 4000$ cheaper then last years model in Canada :) whoo hoo!

if you want to see the full spec for TDI, i guess you can look at VW.ca since they have started selling the TDI's in Canada. I would guess most of the items will be similar to US cars.

Yes, yes, and yes. Here is good intel on my site w/ everything I know: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a6/2011-VW-Jetta-TDI-buying-guide-reviews.htm And thanks to mo for the conf. on electric PS.

Hmm...... another shameless plug :rolleyes: for your site. FWIW, you might want to credit the various suppliers of information to the various cut and pastes that you have in that linked article, for the same reason that you slapped a "copyright" logo on your page.

I am always happy to help answer people's questions anywhere. I included a link to my site because there is no other page that organizes and updates what's known about the car unless you want to read hundreds of other webpages, many of which contain early speculation or misinformation.

Thanks for the heads up. VW actually sent those pictures directly to me or I got them through direct media access so I have a license to use them. The only pictures I used from another source were 2 pics from the vortex and they are credited as such.
