I got tired of getting 20mpg in my Audi on my 110 mile commute so I bit the bullit and bought a new 2010 VW Jetta TDI. This thing is awesome! I never thought I would like it this much. It has good power and the DSG transmission is really nice. To top it all off, I have been averaging about 40mpg.

This is my first VW since my 1984 Rabbit GTI (if you don't count my audi, and numerous Porsche 914s). I would like to get some 17 inch wheels, and tires and maybe lower it an inch or two, but I am really happy with it so far.

 

I drive a Golf TDI. I love the car for the mileage, but man they are not performance cars!

 

Wouldn't it have made more sense to just move a bit closer?

JK man. Nice car!

 

Congrats - i have a couple of Passat TDI's as company cars.

The DSG is shit though.

 

Had a '06 Jetta TDI, same color as commuting whore. 84k miles in almost 3 years. Lifetime average was 52MPG with hardcore hyper miling. Every iteration of their TDIs is worse on gas mileage but better for the environment, go figure ...

 

congrats man enjoy it

 

Thanks guys! I never thought I would be one to brag about my gas mileage, but things change I guess.

 

Great car! Congrats!

 

I now have over 10,000 miles on the car in the first three months and I'm still loving it. The DSG is really good and from what I have read is much better than the pre 2010 models. I put some shocks and springs on the car to lower it a couple inches, and as soon as these all weather tires wear out I'll get some new wheels and tires.

 

glad to hear you are enjoying it..... I've only heard good things from owners
