Corrective action: Thanks for detailing the "corrective action".
 
Thanks to the (American) EPA and CARBS for the needed but unnecessary cleaning !!

Yes I guess I was just trying to resolve the 2009 Jetta results with what will happen in the future. Jetta competes with the Civic's, Corolla's, Altima's AND the Accords, Camry's, Maxima's etc. While I know the Jetta is considered a compact car, I really consider the Fit and Civic, etc., more of the compact car.
 
I think if I had to replace the Civic, I would probably lean toward the Polo. 61 mpg diesel, that is reason enough to zip around with. It would make the Civic 38-42 mpg look like a gas guzzler.
 
You are absolutely correct, VW already does know how to make small cars.

VW has the Japanese beat all ways to Sunday except reliability issues. I wish they'd put extreme effort these next 5 years in clearing up their reputation before it's too late.
Reading the Jetta forums for older models is sometimes like listening to a report of the ravaging of Europe by the Mongols. It's interesting that the TDI enjoys a better reputation isn't it? Makes you realize that most of the problems are with the gas engines---timing belts, engine sludge, ignition coils, cam cover leakage, (V6) etc. Chronic issues that don't seem to go away.
