Only reason I went VW was for the 40+ fuel economy, and I've saved buckets of cash. If Honda had a diesel car at the time, I totally would have bought that instead! So far no issues except a <$20 glow plug for me in 3.5 years.... hope that holds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10761570.post-52249905458672663732008-10-07T23:03:00.000-05:002008-10-07T23:03:00.000-05:00MY issues with VW?

No, this is an entire decade of a cheap electronics & mechanical systems during a time in my life when I couldn't afford to buy a new one due to being a full-time graduate student. Yep, the MINI may require more expensive fuel. However, if the car works just half as well as the VW, then a lifetime of premium fuel in a car that gets 37 MPG will be far cheaper than maintaining a VW. Good luck with your Jetta.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880299466551132570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10761570.post-91086012447706994972008-10-07T17:11:00.000-05:002008-10-07T17:11:00.000-05:00I dunno... don't they take premium fuel?
