Ontopic A Thread About Butt Mustard, For Those Who Drive Automobiles

And it's still going to take 1.5 hours of my time as I have to sit and wait while they do it.

But if you could drop it off.....

But if you could drop it off.....

Then wait for them to call when it's done and coordinate a drive over there again?

 

[Coqui]

Or why detail the car yourself when you can pay someone $180 to detail it every month?

I was looking for a Jetta TDI as well Any hatch style 4 door with good mileage will do for her though.

Fucking love my Jetta

 

[Syrup Beaver]

As noted above, given the choice I'd rather have the Passat TDI to get that little bit more interior room. It still cracks 40mpg.

Agreed, the Passat is actually rated higher than the Jetta in terms of MPG right now, and the back seat is positively cavernous.

If I got the Jetta, it'd be the wagon for the extra storage space, though the trunk on the Passat is pretty good for a sedan.

 

[JAXvillain]

For her I was saying get the Passat TDI wagon vs. the Jetta TDI wagon. Interesting the Passat TDI sedan gets better mpg than the Jetta TDI wagon though. Does that put it near 50mpg??

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Are they selling the Passat wagon in the US again? I hadn't seen one.

It's not that much higher, maybe 1 or 2 mpg.

You're right. Didn't know it was missing from the US market.

sup car guys, i like TDI's but not VW's

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Unfortunately VW's are the only TDI's we can get, other than some hideously expensive Mercedes. (Audi also)

And occasional failed projects like the diesel Jeeps

BMW has had the diesel 5 here for a couple years now too

Also useless to those of us not willing to spend $50k on a vehicle.

Not to nitpick, but only VW has the TDI, it is a brand like Powerstroke or Cummins.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Eh, it's like Kleenex.

 

[strawberry love]

Eh, it's like Kleenex.

Leaves your nose dry and prickly?

 

[Petunia]

I don't have the wagon, can't stand any wagon tbh,

 

[DJBrenton]

Everyone here designates their Turbocharged diesels as TDI. The technology was orginally developed by VW and is trademarked in some countries but here you can get Ford TDI's, Renault TDI's, in fact pretty much every manufacturer uses the designation.

I'm not a big fan of a wagon either, but I figure it's better than a minivan :shudders: I looked at that VW wagon and I think no. It is going to be more expensive to maintain than what I would want in a car and despite the fact that it gets good fuel economy it's only slightly better than my current car and the gas costs more money. I'm sure I still come out ahead on fuel savings but with the more expensive maintenance it doesn't make sense. Hating the way the car looks on top of that doesn't help at all. I guess I'll keep looking.

Yeah, they've made some pretty stout diesels over the years.

I love that diesels love boost. Keeps it interesting.
