Who know what about them? I'm looking for something economical on fuel, and something that would easier drive around in the city than my current F250. Any goods or bads?

I had an 08 jetta 2.5 and I loved it. It wasn't a diesel but it was a great car. Handling was awesome and stabilty was stellar. 80-90 MPH felt like nothing. I hear that the diesel is a little bit quicker. The ***** is great too.

What about trunk space and system compatibility. Is the trunk sealed off like on a BMW with a full sheet metal wall?

Solid cars and great gas mileage... If u want a really fuel efficient car that isn't super ghey(Prius/insight) then go with the Jetta.

Well, I don't really want a car at all, but my current truck isn't going to cut in ATL. I love it, and don't want to get rid of it all, but it is going to happen since it's a 4 dr lifted truck. I considered putting it back stock height, but it would still be a pain parking. I thought about an ext. cab short bed truck, but better fuel mileage would be nice. Of all cars, I figure a diesel is about as manly as I can get on a +/- 15k budget. I might just end up with a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Explorer or other midsize SUV for ~10k, though. I just need a daily driver to get me around town. Performance isn't too big of an issue since I can't afford accessories being in school.

Just for reference, my current truck.

Go for it! You'll average 40-45 mpg. More with a stick. You can do tons of things to the engine and it'l run forever.

I was gona get one but i want my Nissan 4x4 hardbody //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It's also better for the environment because they dont have thous **** ion batteries that are such a pain to mine and manufacture. Nobody talks about that thou.

I've really been thinking about a Golf TDI for the future. Mod kits for straight veggie oil aren't too expensive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yep. And no possibility of having to dispose of highly toxic batteries down the road...or having to be dependent on regular gasoline at all...Europe and VW have gotten the message about highly fuel efficient diesels for a while.

i saw a audis tdi engine on the lemans raace track once.

its so powerful with no sound at all. the only thing i heard was the car tires friction and cutting through the air.

i was waiting till they released it for production.. how exciting

You sound like you have some experience with these cars. Do you know how much you can increase your mileage by adding a turbo to the turbo?

Yo dawg, we heard you like turbos so we put a turbo in your turbo so you can turbo while you turbo.
