2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Loyal Edition review from North America

Had clutch replaced at around 3500 miles, due to dual mass flywheel malfunction.

We got ours on October 2008. We have driven the car a little over 10K miles, had the first scheduled service, have to say the service department was great. This Jetta replaces the Touareg. We're looking forward to the summer so we can take our first long trip. I think it's going to be from Los Angeles to Seattle and back.

One could never tell how comfortable this little car is just by looking at it, power wise you could not ask for more.

We're amazed with our diesel; so amazed that we're planning to add the new soon to be released Golf TDI or the Polo TDI, I will update my comment every 10K miles.

By the way we're considering replacing the dual mass flywheel with solid flywheel I hear comments that the dual mass is problematic across the board; by that I mean on all brands of cars. My mechanic told me that BMW dropped it after only two years and is using the solid flywheel on their new cars.
