No TDI for me . They may be quiter and smoother and faster, but I couldn`t afford to do the maint. on it. $700 timing belt changes, $70 oil changes seems a little out of line for me. I prefer the $20 belt change, $15 oil changes because I can do the job.They may be a little slower , but I can put up with "clicking & clacking" from the older diesels besides they get about the same fuel mileage as the TDIs. I read a report that stated that the Hybrids are not getting the milage they claim.
Russ, take care of your Jetta. You have the last of the good ones.
