Popular Post j_martell Posted September 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) I cant belive I forgot to post this here....Traded my 09 Kia Sportage LX V6 (111,000km) For this..... Square deal. E tested, safetied, plated and ready to roll. 2006 VW Jetta GLS TDI Wagon, fully loaded minus leather......I LOVE IT.....already cut my fuel bill in half...work and back (100 kms a day) all week on 25 litres (30$) of fuel... Had a 2001 jetta tdi auto sedan as a taxi years ago......put over 500,000km on it in 2 years, beting that little 1.9l thee whole damn time.......drove this one and it all came back...the ride, the little diesel noise, the stereo (!!). Looked all summer for one, finally got one.

rsb502 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 You know they have power programmers, cold air intakes and exhaust for those now that gets even more mpg.

j_martell Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 So ini have read.....a few quys around here with em that will help you out for beer....the canadian favour...lolStill have some work to do inspecting things...mbut all in all in very good shape for 268,000km.....the taxi I had ran to well north of 700,000 even with sub-par pm service.....the owners were cheap and when service became required vs preventative, they opted to sell the three jettas and buy ex police impalas....then I Quit....I will say it seems smaller than the Sportage, but when we all load up for a day trip everything fits better....and most of the miles on it will be just me to work and back, dont need a 4wd mini-ute for that.....i bet winter will change my tune a bit, but I did it for years in the snow with front wheel drive, just never with that much torque lol Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....
