The only reason Im considering a jetta is because of the diesal model and the economy it offers. other than that, VW doesnt have a great reputation for reliablity.

Every year, make, model vehicle has it's problems, it's just the manufacturer. VW is really good vehicles like the GTI's, I have a 2000 Jetta VR6, little problems here and there, but none like I see on here. If you're looking to get a VW cause of fuel saving resaons, you're better of getting a Honda Civic with a 1.5 or 1.6.

Do you have a point?

Maybe I can make it for you. The honda is a reliable car, although not as good of mileage as the VW, so that might be a better option.

BTW, 30 mpg isnt even close to the 49 mpg that the TDI offers.

diesel is starting to come back down in price, and even if it were slightly more, for 15 more mpg, it would be a better value anyway.

i think he wants information on VW.s, not hondas. He appears to have not returned anyway.....
