#791 of 831 Re: One Sweet TDI set up [longo2] by rcarr7 Oct 24, 2009 (6:38 pm)
Replying to: longo2 (Oct 24, 2009 5:17 pm) It has been indeed a pleasant surprise knowing used TDI's sell for much more than the TMV.   Your (Montana) lack of diesel experience is really the first I heard of D2 not being available. Even in 03 when according to .gov statistics app 1 in 4 stations carried D2, I have NEVER had an issue getting D2 fuel. But then again, I have only been to app 12 or so states and 1 foreign country and not the other 38 states. (with the TDI's)   I am guessing the 2009 TDI sales went a long way to "create a demand, spotlighting", etc. for TDI's. There were some so called "touch and go" months, even for VW TDI sales. I have read on another web site that the 2009 MY TDI's were 38,000.   I would hope you are happy with your 2006 TDI w / DSG !

Replying to: hammerj (Oct 25, 2009 7:00 am) I might be totally off base here, but AWD is probably not in the cards for VW Jetta's TDI's. So if you are talking of staying in the VW family, even the 30k MSRP Audi A3 might be the ticket. However its TDI doesn't have AWD. The next model A4 has AWD but no TDI. As well designed as the A3 is, the high prices (over its competitors and VW Jetta ) seems to put a damper on "robust" sales.

Replying to: longo2 (Oct 22, 2009 6:07 pm) moparbad -"Recommending Hyundai for it's quality over VW is so ironic in the overall context it is almost beyond funny to absurd."    longo2- Well mopar, sorry to say it's neither ironic, funny, or absurd, check the latest JD Power reliablity reports and see who got the better scores.   Check the latest 2009 Consumer Reports longo2 and here is what you will find   The VW Jetta's Recommendation now extends to the diesel version, making it the only diesel Consumer Reports currently recommends.

Replying to: rcarr7 (Oct 27, 2009 7:31 pm) If Subaru came out with a good TDI in their AWD line it would sell like Hotcakes! The vehicles are great, but their Hiway mpg's with the gas engines are pretty grim.    I for one would be first in line. AWD is almost mandatory where I live, even if you just want to get out of the yard in the winter.  (I keep running an old 1992 Dodge Caravan with AWD for that)   The Subaru Wagon with high clearance, 30+ mpgs, heated seats and tons of torqe would be a winter dream machine around here.
#797 of 831 Nor Cal Pricing by kingsfan2 Oct 29, 2009 (8:26 pm)
Can anybody give me any feedback as to what they have been able to pay at any Northern California dealers for a 2010 Jetta TDI? Interested in what the best' deal would be in relation to MSRP before TTL. Replies to this message: rbk3 (Oct 29, 2009 9:56 pm)

Replying to: kingsfan2 (Oct 29, 2009 8:26 pm) I'm looking at the Wolfsburg and the TDI. The best I've heard in the East Bay area is MSRP for the TDI and various discounts for the rest of the Jetta lineup.

Replying to: moparbad (Oct 27, 2009 7:03 pm) Just read this in the Washinton Post Auto section.. from a guy who could have recommened any brand, any model to this readers question... .Looks like VW has a long uphill PR battle ahead.........   Arlington, Va.: "We are looking to buy a small "commuter" car (good gas mileage, low maintenance, etc.) and don't have a lot of money. What do you recommend?   Warren Brown: Hyundai Elantra. First choice, best value for dollar.   Chevrolet Aveo. Second. Good value for dollar.   Honda Fit Sport. Third. Excellent quality. Most fun-to-drive. But could be pricey."   I think VW Pricing and reliability issues has somehow put it completely out of the minds of such reviewers when thinking of the criteria of this buyers question.    VW has now seems to be an 'up-scale' kind of product..a long way from it's roots.. my first VW was a new 1959 Beatle at $1700.00.... my last bug was a new 1971 Super Beatle (I think the best one they ever made) at $1921.00...they are now selling for up to $6,000.00    "Herman" as we called it, would have been a better investement than money in the bank, mind you that's not saying much is it. The U.S. market really needs the "PoloTDI" to get back to reality.   Road Test: Volkswagen Polo TDI By Damien Tomlinson - 20/Oct/2006   The Volkswagen Polo is a very small car. It measures less than 4 metres long and only 1.65 metres wide, and competes for market share against similar sized vehicles like the Toyota Yaris, Peugeot 206, Mazda2, Holden Barina and Ford Fiesta. Unlike most of these cars however, the Polo has two very neat tricks up its sleeve.   The first is the GTI model, powered by a turbocharged 1.8-litre petrol engine. Feann reviewed this one and gave it an 80% score, which you can read about here. The second neat trick in Volkswagen Australia's Polo range is the TDI model. This cheeky little German car is powered by a 1.9-litre turbo diesel engine, giving the vehicle incredible fuel efficiency figures of 56mpg, an impressive cruising range and plenty of power.   And at the time of writing it has no direct competitors.   IMHO that's where VW should be again.
