I also heard (from VW) that manual transmission (pads on clutch that normally wear out after certain time) is designed for 1 million + applications therefore you may not have to change clutch pads as long as you own the car; i.e. they will last beyond all other moving components. I remember changing pads on manual clutch way back, when I lived in Europe. Read More...

I drove both '09 DSG and 6-speed manual cars. While I see the pros/cons of both I would have to buy the manual simply because of the maintenance on the DSG. The first service is required at 40k miles (conveniently beyond the "free" maint) and it's quite expensive (I've seen quotes from $300-$500+ at dealers). I also have to wonder how long that DSG will last and what ... Read More...

I have a 6-speed manual on my 09 Jetta SportWagon and I love it. I took a test with DSG but I liked the manual better. You get a slightly better mileage with manual. But if you have to commute in a stop and go traffic every day, then DSG would be my choice. It's a matter of personal preference. Read More...

Are you certain it is the "tiptronic" and not the "DSG" xmission? I understand that the DSG xmission can achive nearly perfect matchup to all driving conditions. It is the only auto xmission in the world that can compare to a well-shifted manual. In other words, the DSG is the only "automatic" I would consider with a TDI. Why consider a TDI if not for the MPG...and ... Read More...

Looking into trading in Audi for VW 2009 or 2010 Jetta Sport TDI Wagon......Anyone have any experience with the Triptronic (Automatic) transmission VERSUS manual transmission. I read in a forum on Motortrend that the torque of the TDI motor was to hard on the automatic transmission- but that wasn't from an actual 'owner' just a tester...Also because I have ...

Are you secretly a Honda salesman or dealer? I love me a good Honda. They're great cars, but this is a VW Jetta forum. Three posts promoting Hondas is probably enough. ;) Read More...

I have the 2009 Jetta SportWagon TDI. The leatherette is vinyl although looks like but doesn't smell like the leather. Frankly I can't tell the difference. The SEL are even harder to find than the TDIs. I was looking for either the SEL or TDI and couldn't find one. I am really glad I ended up with the TDI the mileage is awesome and the performance is more than I need. ... Read More...

I for one had been looking forward to a Honda (Civic) iTEC. The news took various twists and turns and it went from Civic to Accord to Acura TSX...back to nada.. However, I think one of the reasons Honda did not bring an iTEC Accord to the US market was / probably continues to be price. Just a quick snapshot shows (gassers) VW Jetta to be app $3,000 cheaper than a comparable ... Read More...
