A guy I work with just traded in his snot hanging Camaro on a new diesel Jetta. He told me: you will be surprised at how quick it is, when you drive it. I'm skeptical. He also said he got 39 MPG, doing mostly around town driving on the first tank.Nobody wrote:That's what he asked me.... I said I don't know, you're the dealer. You got one?
Of course I knew the answer, it was just fun to watch him squirm, knowing a sale was about to walk away.
It pisses me off that the US midsize diesel market is not existant. I have to buy a freaking jetta.
The CFN station across the street from work has B99
for 3.29 a gallon. The more I read about Bio fuels, the more I like the concept.

I think I will just buy one of these! No need to worry about fuel prices, especially if it will take bio-diesel...

I like the second version, I'm not sure I could live with performance of the first version, 0-60 in 20 secondsPhillippi wrote:I think I will just buy one of these! No need to worry about fuel prices, especially if it will take bio-diesel...

. A small turbo diesel in a car like this might be fun to drive to work. Making one street legal may be near impossible though.

At acceleration and speeds like that, No worry about excess G forces huh?Daily Tech wrote: It goes 0-60 in 20 seconds and has a top speed of 99 MPH.
