So fully load with a TDI will be about $35gs, so about $40gs out the door

and call it 2009 Jetta Sportwagon

2.5 should be out by May, with Clean TDI (manual and DSG) following July-August hopefully. Not long to go

Bet yes, but the Honda diesel will be the most interesting on the market IMO.

Must be, for $27k in the US you can get some fairly serious car, no?

"Despite the added power this engine will return fuel
efficiency figures that will be similar to the previous TDI engine, which,
were 5.1 litres/100 km on the highway."

5.1 lites/100 km is disappointing

This is a large car, probably 2x the size of your Echo

rrocket · « **Reply #34 on:** January 17, 2008, 06:40:15 pm »

For a modern diesel....yea.....

And the Jetta only has marginally more room than the Echo in one interior dimension only...shoulder room. The Echo is the same or exceeds the Jetta in every other category for interior dimensions..(legroom same front and rear, Echo has more headroom front and rear, etc..)

Though the Jetta is quite a few rungs up on the "niceness" factor...

Are you talking MKV or MKIV?

Who cares about the exterior dimensions if the interior dimension is almost the same??

The exterior dimension make it a mid-size nearly. But the interior is a compact to sub-compact....

Jetta trunk is huge. I didn't notice that it was all that small inside...I would think that it would be considerably bigger than an Echo but maybe the Echo is just freakishly big / space efficient?
