Replying to: kooler (Mar 05, 2009 1:45 am) Well here are the facts about TDIs. Demand far exceeds Supply!! Having successfully buying at or below Invoice, I could not understand why retails expected me to pay MSRP or ABOVE!! and with a take-it or leave-it attitude. I am a rather discriminating and technical buyer. and like you a previously disappointed purchaser -- always the bride's maid not the Bride. Last week, decided I would take the first 2010 I could get -- not Red -- but almost any other configuration. (Here they are sold before they even get unloaded from the hauler trailer.) Well as it happened, I was "hanging around" the dealer when one came in. It was a very acceptable dark Blue. SOLD. It was not till some time later that I found out is would be a M6 trans. What I wanted but could not find. No other options, but the TDI is somewhat full featured anyway. (not SEL levels but I'm ecstatic!!) I finally got mine and getting in 40+ mpg and still breaking her in. If you can get one you can "live with" GET IT and be happy you did. If however, you need it just so, you may have to defer the TDI until the mfg comes stateside (USA) so the supply can be on par with demand. I've heard that may be in 2-3 years. Happy hunting. Craig BTW, I paid MSRP $23.7K USD, but got the 4500 clunker monies. |

I'd be interested to know where you found the Jetta TDI Sportwagon. When the second round of the clunker program was announced, I literally searched nationwide and couldn't find one, especially not close to the way I wanted it equipped. Two dealers told me they would be willing to do a clunker deal with a 2010 MSO, but when I came up with cash and was ready to do the deal they backed down saying would be not be getting 2010's until late September at best and maybe not until October. Before the clunker program I had a number of dealers pestering me, but they wouldn't touch my trade at anywhere near the clunker amount, and at the time they had plenty of TDI Wagons on their lots. Thanks for the input.

| Thanks, I didn't look in the NE. But I did check with a few dealers in south Florida as we have property there, too, and I have business down there. Again, by the second round of the clunkers program no one had a TDI Sportwagon. | |

Hi, Does anyone know if the bluetooth function on the new 2010 TDI Sportswagon suppose to be able to display the phone book and voice commands? I just got my TDI about a week ago and in the manual it says that I am supposed to view the phone book but it does not seem to work. Took it back to the dealer and they said because this bluetooth is a pw2 and not a pw3. Is this true? Why would they have it on the manaul and it also came with a bluetooth booklet how to operate it? Thanks

Replying to: alao977 (Oct 21, 2009 5:53 am) all 2010 Jetta models only have the pw2. so it's the no frills bluetooth. No A2DP bluetooth stereo either (I think) ... boooo !!!! Here is a cell phone compatibility spec sheet from Volk-L http://www.govolkl.com/docs/Volk-L_Compatibility_4Charts.pdf

| Was wondering if there is any thoughts about the option of adding the rear airbags? A dealer has told me that they would be worse in an accident to have if you have children in the back. I am finding that informtiaon hard to believe. Any feedback? | |

Replying to: rbesque (Oct 27, 2009 10:11 am) NHTSA web site may have some engineering/research details to show why rear-seat airbags are so dangerous to children. One reason is that children can tend to sleep in the back seat and lean on the door. |
