TDI?

How much driving do you do in a year? How many km / miles on your current car per month or year?

I still have my 2002 TDI NB that I bought in 2002. It is as good as it can get on gas, it uses none. :-) I get mid 40's to low 50's in city and upper 50's to lower 60's on the road using diesel.

I don't know what the crash ratting is and I have not tested it.

It has proven to be very reliable at 61,000 miles now and I have no complaints with it's snow capabilities in Ohio. I would guess if I had to go on un-plowed roads after a very deep snow, it might be a problem due to the low ground clearance, but other models (not the New Beetle) have more clearance.

I read all the other responses. So what's wrong with your 2002 Hyundai accent? It's only a 2002 and should still be a decent car in 2007? You might want to look back and see how you maintained your car before you buy a VW. VWs need lots of maintenance especially the TDI.

I have a 2005 Passat TDI and it has been faultless to date. We have about

Cecil in Virginia

There is nothing wrong with my accent.. I have about 75k, and have done all required maint ( i even have the service records) I actually love my little car, and am impressed with how well it has help up for being around 10k new. I do have concerns over safety, it runs great in decent weather, but no so much in rain/ snow, as I will now be driving a major interstate to and from work, i want something safer and with traction control/ AWD. I actually only plan on purchasing a new car late fall/ early winter, I hope to get a better deal with either trade ins, or a left over 2006
