Philip, A friend of mine has been driving a new 2002 Jetta TDI wagon for at least 6 months now. He says it is an awesome vehicle: solid, very smooth, accelerates very well, very comfortable, gets 50mpg like they advertise. This friend is a real gearhead, has driven and worked on old Rabbit diesel, Toyota MR2 on a racing setup, and a new BMW Mini. At this point, I'd be willing to bet that the last car he'd give up is the Jetta TDI. It is certainly on my list, and I did own a an '81 Jetta Diesel and an '82 Westy Diesel, at different times.

I would appreciate any experienced feedback from Jetta owners and the TDI in particular. My wife and I are considering the very short list of modestly-priced 2003 model year wagon-oid vehicles as her new daily driver. She needs a new wagon. Can anyone relate their experiences with recent model-year Jettas and/or the 1.9 TDI? Are Jettas any good? Thanks in advance. Philip Chidlaw |
