The Vw Forum Blows

There is hardley anything going on over there. Anyway, I am looking at possibly having a 45 mile commute this summer. I want something that gets good fuel mileage (40+ MPG). So I was considering a Diesel Golf, GTI(if they're made), or a Jetta. Do any of you guys know anything about VW. I would like a 2-door in the case that I got a Golf. What trims/packages came with a 2-door configuration. Also what years have turbo diesels(any?). Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Honda's aren't bad for a Daily driver.

I'd drive one daily.

Diesels are nice, for one reason.

Super-reliability.

Thats a sin that I just cant commit. I feel bad enough parking my GSX as it is. But to cheat on it with a Honda. It makes me sick just thinking about it. Just think, if it ever found out, it would never start for me again.

^^^^^
I fixed your grammar error.

Diesels are cool for lots of reasons, but reliablity is deffinately a strong point for them.

I like the newer GTI's, but not the MarkV (I think that's the 06) model ones.

Re: The Vw Forum Blows

if you are looking for a vw diesel, jetta and golfs were availiable with TDI starting from the mkIV gen, 1997-2004. There are no GTI version of the diesel engines, and all of the TDIs are turbo diesels.
