anyone have an experience with the newer VW TDI models? im thinking of getting a loaded 2010+ wagon (TDI, manual, nav, leather, etc). mainly for fuel economy and utility. ill be doing a ton of driving the next year or so due to a new career opportunity. i figure i can get the TDI as a DD and get a toy for the summer.

it seems common that the TDI outperforms its MPG rating of 41 hwy to the mid 50's easily. some hypermilers get 60+ !

it really has me intrigued as they seem to be nice vehicles. thoughts?

 

Test drove the new ones. Lets just say, if they offered the Rabbit TDI when I bought mine, id be driving one. Loved it.

 

Do it. Then do this --> while passing Prius drivers.

 

Test drove a TDI Wagon, LOVED IT.

 

I haven't heard a single bad thing about the TDI especially the new ones. And they are pretty nice too. I would definitely drive a wagon in \TDI.

 

my friend has one with DSG its really nice car to drive... i'd take manual but even with that DSG its fun car to drive. its has lots of torque

 

Dude theres a sweet sunroof option on the wagon. Half the roof is glass. I'm calling on it tomorrow. It's a LOADED TDI wagon with a manual and only 3k miles.

My only concern is maintenance I've never owned a diesel.

 

they last forever!

 

Talk to charliemike, he's driving one now...

 

TDi.....what's not to love about this engine

 

I may be picking an 11 Golf TDI this weekend. Test drove a few this weekend and LOVED it. Cant decide on the 2 door or 4 door tho =/.

Finally trading in my beloved 04 TSX.
