Jetta TDI

[Fred Munro]

Word from the shop is that a lot of DSGs are coming in for warranty repairs.
Apparently they may not be, erm, "durable" in the current variant. You may
want to wait a while to see how they stand up before getting one.

I had a go in one for a couple of days last winter (TDI DSG salon).

Parked it next to an 05-ish Volvo XC70 and the Jetta was about an inch or
two shorter (Seriously)

TDI and DSG should be a match made in heaven and i liked it in manual mode
but actually found myself arguing with it (or the software) verbally in
auto.

I didn't drive an auto until my 1st trip to canada in 99 and have done a
total of about 6 weeks since then, so maybe it's me rather than the car

Had a tdi manual passat wagon from 01 to 05 and loved that...
If the mere thought of driving an automatic doesn't make you break out in a
cold sweat, JUST BUY ONE!

It's a no brainer unless you need 4 Motion

Ooo, I'll be interested in your real-world experiences with the car. The
lease 
expires on our van on Dec 1, and we are
looking to downsize. The Jetta SW TDI is one car I want to look at, even 
though I think it will be a bit small for our needs.
Too bad they don't put the TDI in the Passat wagon.....

One of the guys at the place I worked at last year had the 2007 Jetta tdi. 
It's a very comfortable car for 4 average sized adults. He had the sedan but
I 
did sit in the wagon version at the dealership and it felt like it had about

the same amount of space as the early A4 avants.

My co worker was getting regularly almost 50 mpg whenever he did the 2 hour 
trip from central NJ to the northern part of Pennslyvania, this was almost
all 
highway mileage. When he drove locally he was getting about 40 plus mpg. He 
loves the car, says it is very quiet and smooth for a diesel.
