2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
I have never been a big fan of diesel powered anything, well maybe except a big rig hauling down the road, they smell, no power and they rattle like they are coming apart, oh did I mention that they smell? I know that statement may have been a little extreme but when you follow behind 15 M-60 diesel powered tanks for three years in the Army you become a little tainted when it comes to diesel powered anything! Then a few years back I get a call from a local North County Volkswagen dealer that had just bought 20 new/used Volkswagen Jetta diesels from out of state (At the time California would not allow the sale of new diesel powered anything in the state except big rig diesels). He asked me to come to his dealership and test drive a new diesel Jetta, I reluctantly make the trip north and once behind the wheel and with the coaxing of the GM yelling for me to “Stand on it, Burn Rubber, see what she will do”! I did and was I impressed, 35 feet of smoking rubber and an engine that was as quiet as a gas burner, what happen, did someone figure out how to make a diesel powered anything really work? Yes sir, Volkswagen did and they have kept the spirit alive and today I’m driving a jet black 2010 Diesel Jetta from Drew Volkswagen.
