2008 Volkswagen Jetta TDI SE review from UK and Ireland
"A good economical all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major issues as yet.
Blew a tail light bulb already. VW have a habit of this.
General comments?
Nice car.
Good MPG 45MPG hard driving.
55MPG average for handy driving.
TAX in Eire is CO2 rated, so this was good 156 euro per 12 months.
Not as comfortable as Passat, but then if you want a Passat, buy one.
Good all rounder.
I would go for red eye next time round, lags a few horse's when cold and pushing hard.
Seats comfortable/has all the mod cons; A/C traction control etc.
