so went to test drive a GTI today...

[4dmin]

didn't buy one... yet. but i'm really considering it. not quite sure if i want 2dr or a 4dr (i miss my old golf) and can't decide against dsg/manual.... but VW is running 0% apr which is nice - what you think?

[quickdodge®]

You have nice new cars. Why not go back to an old school Rabbit? Later, QD.

[redrumracer]

hell id go with a 2dr manual. but id prefer to have rwd also.

i really want warranty + zero maintenance... and my e46 is a POS

[Turbo Terrance]

I say go for 2dr or 4dr 5sp or manual ( which ever u wanna run into traffic with....)

[slostang]

sedan manual

The only thing I have really found wrong with it (other than the design of how cramped everything is under the engine bay) is that it weighs quite a lot. I heard it's like 3700. Def a sexy car tho!

[Bruce Leroy]

Id buy a 2 door 5 speed.

[Echonova]

4 door is only like 200lbs more than the 2 door. I would go 2dr but my wife wants 4. I've been waiting for the Rabbit to go TDI...

Diesel is the future.

The DSG transmission is bullet-proof, except for like all V-dubs, the wiring. However my neighbor is a VW tech @ Athens VW and he says the new Rabbits are lightyears more reliable than previous cars.

ya i thought about it ... 140hp 236lbs

[slostang]

bc its a diesel you can easily squeeze alot more power out of it with a re-tune.

Im seriously considering the jetta wagon tdi. Im still about 12 mos away from making a purchase though

[Echonova]

I think 09-10 they are gonna do the Rabbit in TDI. I'll be first in line.

[slostang]

im waiting for the diesel accord to be released, then i may swap the diesel accord engine into my eg8

I'd buy a DSG TDI Jetta, because DSG is nothing but amusing fun and practical for a daily driver 50mpg car. Re-tune, veg oil, full exhaust for a blast of a daily driver with no gas bill.

[slostang]

LOL, I just negged him with this

lol thanks, it says i have spread too much rep in the past 24 hrs.

back to the point of the thread, i would also wait for the diesel engines come out. i have many friends who are extremely happy with theirs.

~taken from another forum~

I like many of you have been looking for a good economical car that won't break the bank. The VW Jetta TDI has been appealing to me because of its high MPG, 45/55 according to the newest models and yet below the hybrid prices. Well, today I went to the Portland Auto Show and saw the 2008 Golf TDI. Estimated MPG is mid 60's!! Thats about 15mpg better than Prius! The price......$14,995. Where do sign up!! Heres the big downer.......its only available in Europe. One thing I found out at the Auto show is that the economical cars are out there but the US won't allow them in because of emmisions, safety, and whatever other lame excuse they can think of. The Golf TDI headed for Europe is the same as the one currently in the US but with an 80hp TDI "Clean Diesel" engine, which actually emmits less carbon than the Prius.

I've been thinking about a veggie tdi for a little while now. I'd be willing to sacrifice some performance for practicality. Even running diesel in it is a lot better than the **** i have to deal with now.
