2003 VW Jetta TDI. No expensive batteries to replace. Best MPG= 55. Worst
was 45 and that was @ 85mph into a headwind. No hybrids for me yet. I hit
105mph passing two big 18 wheelers. Good power and good MPG.




Impressive stats---I had a 80's Renault gta that ran like that---
hard to believe that we haven't improved in auto technology
since the last crunch...


I looked pretty hard at the field including a jetta-- there's few of
'em around here but the closest dealer is 1.5 hrs away, 3 month wait
list to get a new prius.

There's a prius taxi fleet in Vancover BC with over 200k miles on each
unit and no battery failure to date... ED
