I bought the wife a diesel passat last night. Great quality car. Will get great mileage too. Just over 50the MPG on the highway and lots of get up and go.

nice, german engineering, brother, you'll like it, but proly won't get to drive it, hehe.

I also have a 08 jetta with the 2.0 turbo. Great car.

great car for sure,,

I had always wanted the diesel but never bought it. Now if the wife puts gas in it i will shoot her......

Just sold my wifes 06 TDI beetle so that she could get a new Volvo XC60. The Volvo definitely won't get the same gas mileage, but it's hard as hell to drive twins around in a bug. She loved her Volkswagen though. It had great gas mileage and power to boot.

Damn i would have bought that bug. The new body looks weird to me.

I rented the Tiguan last fall, it was surprising the mileage, and I drove it hard!

It was/is a great car. Never had any real problems with it. Replaced the battery once and a brake line. That was it other than regular maintainence. We usually filled it up about once a month. Those days are gone.

I thought the new body looked weird as well. Something about the shape, like they took the old bug and made it longer??? I dunno.

I have had vw's my whole life. Great value.

My cousin in Utah just bought one of those, Mike - hasn't stopped singing it's praises!

I've always been leery of diesels in our climate, though... I'm guessing the newer models don't have the same issues starting in sub-zero temps?

Queen the vw diesel is great wherever you live. Reliability and mpg. Dont be scared.

Does it have a sunroof or moonroof? Make sure to havw them check the drain lines periodically if it does and sits outdoors. Wife has a '06 passat and flooded because of that.

It does but always under cover unless its being driven. I never heard of that. Thanks. It might rain twice a year here.....

Class action lawsuit was filed against them for that. Being under cover it shoulnt matter then. Rained here and filled the drivers floorboard. Volkswagens answer was to not leave it outside for any large amounts of time or keep it covered.

Sounds about right. My 08baby has never been in the shop. It's due for a timing belt tho.

I wish. Faulty passenger airbag x2, faulty driver airbag, headliner falling, flooding, cam gear broke, ac control unit and blower motor out. None covered under extended warranty.

Sweet ride. Diesel engines will go forever.

Yup. Thats what we need with the miles we drive. MACS i will be ordering springs next month for mine......
