[Vwdiesel] I'm in love - Test drove a 2002 Jetta TDI this weekend

[Matt]

I've had my Golf TDI for just over a year now, and I've been completely
satisfied the whole time.  The car is so powerful and clean in comparison,
that there is no comparison!  My old diesel is more fun to drive though.
Maybe it's because it's old school or something, it just feels lighter and
more fun.

But I'm never giving up that Golf! :)
