You know a car is something special when it comes with V-Tex Leatherette seating surfaces. It's a whole 15% more leather-like than traditional Corinthian.

I'd swing for a tdi but it's still a great car.

TDIs start up in the 24-25k range. Plus the new version needs AdBlue. Not crazy about that prospect.

Not incredibly silky smooth, but the stuff is tough as nails.

Doesn't the jetta tdi start at 21ish?Surprised they made the golf more. Adblue is ok, but I'm surprised at that price premium. That's almost wrx money

I think just a hair under 3000lbs. The MQB platform supposedly cut down a little on weight

Not bad. Still I think I have some kind of racist attitude to weight. I cant help but compare to a really old one.

I stand corrected. Both of them have a TDI S or Value edition starting at 21 and some change. However, both TDI SEs make the jump to the 24 range.

They're on the ground now. Lindsay has 3 I think. And actually, the VW site has more or less done away with all of its configurators
