Replying to: sebring95 (Aug 28, 2008 5:18 am) I gave up on VW and bought a Ford Taurus. I know, apples to brussel sprouts, but I’m happy with it, it is comfortable and should get better mileage than most cars its size. It gets better mileage than the 1993 Explorer it replaces by 6mpg and it only has <300 miles on it. |

| I picked up my 2009 TDI yesterday. Paid MSRP without any upcharge. Car came with a sunroof (I think most of the early ones are coming through that way) and manual tranny. So far I can say that it was worth the wait for this car. I drove about 100 plus miles yesterday (mixed driving) and according to the computer I averaged over 40 mpg. The torque on this car in 3rd and 4th gear is amazing. I assume that is the turbo doing its job. Fit and trim is nice especially for this price range. Engine runs smooth and quiet. Sound system is fine. My only complaint is a lack of a garage door opener system. I had to dig up my old garage door clicker. Overall I think it is a good value. And my son is happy since he got the old Maxima with 165K on the odometer. | |

For this huge sum of money you get a SUNROOF, FRONT AIR DAM LIP, REAR SPOILER AND AN UGRADED RADIO. Now, I don't know about you but it seems to me that is a decent deal and to my knowledge anyone can buy the car---not just previous owners. Why they call it that I'm not real sure. I think they were going to use it in some kind of marketing campaign and then realized they wouldn't have to with the price of gas/diesel skyrocketing. |

Replying to: m6user (Aug 28, 2008 1:18 pm) Maybe you missed this-------------------> They can still use it in a marketing plan. All those that are loyal to the human race can buy at sticker price....maybe more if your dealer is a scurmudgeon. Save $500 on a sunroof and radio for prior TDI owners sounds good though. Those Loyal to white cars can get a white car? I'm full of ideas!
