New to VW's and fascinated with new 2009 Jetta Sportwagen but have two concerns: Sunroof: Have always had sunroof on past cars and am looking at one with new Panoramic sunroof. Any help on noise concerns besides the usual vacuum related issues that are often alleviated by cracking a window? Plus concerned over only mesh cover for two reasons: (1) heat and (2) noise. ...

If you were to lease either of these cars with only 10,000 miles per year, their residual value would be 1% higher. Volkswagen is not currently providing any lease support on the ... Read More...

Re: 2009 TDI engine? [Mr_Shiftright]

Indeed. For some funny reason, most folks (even knowledge able car TESTERS) like to first drive a VW Jetta TDI like it is a whinny Honda begging for higher rev ving, i.e., 6,100 rpms . Max torque 110 # ft @ 4,500 rpms (?) (no disrepect intended or implied I own a whinny Honda and guess how I drive it?..... and it gets 38-42 mpg in daily commuting !!?? Predictably they ...

Well the VW TDI has scored very well. Maintenance after its free warranty would be more expensive than most cars, however VW has proven in reliability over the years. Every company had to start from somewhere, and now they have built up a great company with a stronger foundation than ever. But, I too have questioned whether or not I want a TDI. The increased torque ... Read More...

Written by: karthur1 on Jun 27, 2009 10:21 PM

All, I have a LONG commute (126 miles roundtrip per day.. reverse commute in Chicago on 355/I80/I65S from Naperville to Merrillville, IN takes an 1hr 5 mins each way per day). I have tried out a number of cars and while I enjoy the TDI's feel and great gas mileage will the seats be comfortable enough and will it be reliable enough to handle nearly 30,000 miles per year ...
