[Vwdiesel] Possible TDI Purchase: Feed Needback !

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  For comfort and room you can't beat a Passat. You're limited to used 96 and
97 models though.  Someone listed a couple Passat wagon TDI's on the
vw newsgroup recently.  He wants in the $8000 to $9000 range.  Not too bad.
  Dad's Passat sedan makes about 45 to 48mpg on trips.  It's always loaded.
On our trip it made a good 40 mostly.  He doesn't manage to get enough miles
on it just puttering around at lower speeds to get a good grasp of the
mileage
when you keep it 60mph and under!
  If I had the cash to just go get one, I'd get the Passat wagon.  Much more
rear seat room in the Passats than the Jettas.
