The only problem with the car is that it's too fun to drive, which hurts fuel economy.
From bumper to bumper, the 2006 Jetta is the best value for my money.
The interior is very well done; the engine sounds great; and the electronic stability keeps it straight on ice and snow.
This car will be in my driveway for a very long time, at least 10 years.
Although the low sulfur diesel regulations have impacted my fuel economy, some of that difference can be made up by a cetane booster, or driving slower.
The gearing is absolutely perfect for highway fuel economy.
You know, it's not outlandish to think that someone actually likes their car and wants to write a coherent, well-thought out post and is NOT a paid poster.
Come on.
