My Dad runs a Jetta TDI. They make excellent mile munchers.
A mate of mine runs a grey one like yours Steve, he goes all over the country in it and it certainly has excellent fuel economy. The 140 DSG goes well too, but I'm sure yours will soon be knocking out in excess of 140 anyway..... :smiley:

2.0TDI 140 Sport DSG, with virtually no extras but very low miles ready for me to stick 40k on it in the next 12 months
While I will miss the Mk6 I won't miss my fuel bills, on the way to the garage today the Mk6 got 31.2MPG on a mixed run, the same journey back in the Jetta was 49.8MPG, estimate it will save me at least £300 a month  :smug:
Makes sense and if i was doing your miles i would be running a TDI too.
Suprised there was that much difference in the miles though on average but i guess some of thats motorway were the TDI claws it back. As when i do my pitiful 32 mile round trip commute in the TDI170 there only ~10mpg difference in it.

Don't touch it. Those Mexican VWs are nothing but trouble. They just can't get them made to  German standards. If you think German Golfs have problems, those Mexican Golfs are the pits.

The exeo is one of the cars i'd buy as a good value family car, especially a used estate. :cool:

Whats wrong with 3 cars?   :undecided: :wink:
You'll be spending lots of time washing cars.  :evil:
Good exercise, but what a waste of your valuable time.  :rolleyes:
Me: never wash cars. Filthy job.  :sick:
I think you could be right. The pollen is killing my chest and i have just had to wash the 3 cars on the drive due to been totally covered in pollen and its killed me. :sick:
