Beetle Jetta
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009Does anyone know about the VW Beetle or Jetta TDI, diesel?
I am considering buying a VW diesel (beetle or jetta) and I would like to know the pros and cons.
I own a VW beetle now (2.0) that is starting to have serious problems and I want a car with the best gas mileage. These diesels get up to 50 MPG. But I do not want to sacrifice maintenance/repairs for gas mileage.
I want a reliable car.
Thanks for any help.
We have 1 gas Jetta & 1 diesel Jetta, both manual (stick) shift. My Dad has a diesel Jetta (automatic) – we love our diesels. Here in Canada they get a bit sluggish to start in the dead of winter (-25c) but otherwise are a great car with great mileage. I use synthetic oil in mine so can go 10000-12000km before having an oil change. The fuel filters are pricier than a gas engine, overall maintenance cost is about the same. Generally, diesel engines outlast their gasoline counterparts as the engine itself runs cooler than a gas engine. You should check the availability of diesel at local stations & along the route you take to work – just a practical suggestion, because it’s no fun having a car with great mileage if you have to drive way out of your way to find fuel for it. Diesels will also run on alternative fuel; check out http://www.greasecar.com ……… cheers.
