Re: Thoughts on TDI?

I'd do one.

I even tried a diesel rabbit of way bak when.

for 5 bucks or so, gas at less than a buck..
bangor maine to boston, drove around then came home...

???

of course if more diesels were allowed, the mercedes and hilux and I even spotted isuzu troopers with the rare option for america... they would be all over the place in popular. many machines aout there. Why VW is killing us with a midget could only be some ass flying first vengeance within their feminist group...

BS. Plus, I would not be caught dead in an Aveo, AKA Dawoo product...

A VW TDI Golf is a GTI with diesel running gear... At least for 2010 and newer, the VW Jetta wagon is head and shoulders above anything the Aveo may calim to be.

Buying GM for the sake of buying GM is what put it in the Shite house in the first place.

What really make me laugh is that GM offers diesel power in Europe...

Re: Thoughts on TDI?

I'd love to give one a drive, I like the concept of a nice little turbo diesel in a quality car that you can live with every day.

Re: Thoughts on TDI?

doesn't make diesel any easier to work on , the factories think you should work on them for free , though the parts are insane expensive ,, therefore I will always detest light duty diesels

Re: Thoughts on TDI?

Two guys I know got TDI's for their wives... decent little units.

Here's my thing: they hold their value extremely well. I'm the type to buy a car with 40-60k and drive it until it shot, as in 200k shot. We bought our Mazda 6 for half of what a comparable year and milage TDI would have cost. Our Mazda 6 gets 35 mpg as compared to 45 as reported by the guys I know who own TDI's, so the fuel savings is substantial but not substantial enough.

Miles per dollar says get something else, IMO.

Re: Thoughts on TDI?

don't forget your rainbow sticker :D
sorry not for me, to costly for not much better milage..
I get 33 and 28 in a car that was 15k.. and will make it passed 250k
without much work..
injector pumps and turbos are costly when they go south..
I can buy two of my cars for what the jetta wagon diesel cost..
and can load it up with what the HHR handles..
the bookkeeper at work has the wagon. audi(same p.o.s.
and it was bumper drag'n with half of what I load into my wagon..
