Wife drives a 2004 suburban. she wants a "summer" car to take back and forth to the lake with 4 kids and a lab. A jetta wagon tdi would get her there and back for about 2 1/2 gals. vs 8 gals in the suburban. Back to school and winter she will drive the suburban/family sports truckster. In the winter I could drive the jetta instead of the 4.0 wrangler.
So whats the buzz on the vw turbo diesel? do they last forever? or are they shi**y? |

I have a 2002 Jetta TDI 5 spd but not the wagon. I love it. 55 miles per gallon highway and 45 city. The new ones have a newer style engine than mine. A couple of guys at work have the new design and it seems to be just as good. We took a trip up to Des Moines from Dallas in Feb and went up on a tank and back on a tank. I usually fill up every 700 miles if it needs it or not. I tried the bio diesel couldnt tell much gain but the exhaust smelled like pop corn. Look for a better fuel savings over the suburban we have one of those tanks also.
