Still a Jetta, which is a good car, but it's the TDI I'd jump all over with both feet. Especially if it were a manual tranny.

Keep in mind, though, that my opinion should be taken with a huge grain of salt, as I'm a different kind of car buyer than most people.

Actually, I'm a non-car-buyer until I sell one or a few. My wife nearly came unglued when I went to look at a 530i she wasn't too keen on my getting, and I came back with two cars.

I need to either cut back on the cars or become a dealership and get the D-tags so we don't have to go through the hassle and expense of registering and insuring so many of them. 17 now if I count the dumptruck.

Bet my cylinder count is approaching 200 by now too.

If it is the TDI jump on it... My wife has the Beetle with the same TDI Engine... It is relatively quiet, Very reliable, Reasonably peppy, And gets close to 50 mpg to boot...
If the Beetle were not such a girls car I wouldn't mind driving it (I still do sometimes)...
