2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
The day the latest TDIs hit the showroom floor, VW dealerships will feature a longer line of eager customers than would a water vendor at a cracker-eating contest. The Jetta TDI is due to arrive in showrooms in all 50 states this summer and, judging from the very similar European model, should get something around 40 mpg on the highway. Welcome to the new face of diesel: stink-, soot-, and (mostly) rattle-free.
Volkswagen emphasizes this point by marketing the TDI Sportwagen that, in addition to being sporty-looking, will scoot to 60 mph in about eight seconds. Diesel prices are currently outpacing gasoline prices by about 20 percent, but this still doesn’t negate the diesel’s overall fuel saving. How quickly you negate the $2000 or so premium for the Jetta TDI’s diesel engine depends on how many miles you drive.
