One of the top cars for 2009 the VW Jetta TDI

For 2009, Volkswagen is reintroducing the diesel powered Jetta TDI which features a new clean turbo diesel engine that meets emissions standards.Diesel fans applaud diesel cars for their excellent power and plus their fuel economy. Those against say diesels are smoky, smell and slow.
Diesels are uncomplicated, you can drive all day, still getting great fuel economy. The Volkswagen Jetta TDI almost sounds too good to be true. According to Volkswagen, the Jetta TDI is faster to 60 MPH than a petrol driven Jetta and it’s also 50% more fuel efficient.
This is a particularly practical car. The inside is straightforward, if maybe a bit plain. The driving position is nearly perfect with driver’s seat which adjusts the height and a tilt and telescope steering wheel. There is plenty of back seat space and all round visibility is good.The boot is spacious with a flat floor and sides, making it so much easier to load.
The VW Jetta TDI is powered by a new two litre, four cylinder turbo diesel engine and it delivers 140 horsepower compared to the 170 horsepower of the 2.5 litre 5 cylinder engine in the petrol driven Jetta TDI. Diesel motors turn slower than petrol engines, hence the low hp number.
Quick acceleration is not the Jetta TDI’s strong point. Put your foot down and there’s a pause, a fairly slow move off, and then a surge of power.
Fuel economics. It is estimated for the automatic Jetta TDI an average of 29 MPG around the towns and an average of 40 MPG on a run. The lowest fuel consumption was 28 MPG whilst putting the Jetta TDI through its paces. Best was a long run with the cruise at 67, with an average of 55 MPG. Even without using cruise control, most of the longer drives averaged 48 MPG or even better.
So, a diesel can definitely save you money and remember, you are going almost twice as far on each gallon.
The VW Jetta TDIis a great diesel car. The Jetta TDI is quick, quiet, clean and efficient, plus it is comfortable, practical, and great fun to drive.
