2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI
2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDIFrugality is the watchword of the day. And what car better embodies the creed of frugality than the Volkswagen Jetta TDI?This Jetta SportWagen TDI is exactly what we should have in our long-term fleet. The DSG transmission is much nicer than our six-speed manual for daily driving, and it's only a 1-mpg penalty at the pump. Being able to bang off a quick, clean 6-4 downshift for passing is a huge advantage over the manual car, although I wish our tester had paddle shifters like a GTI. I instinctively look for those paddles when I'm driving a DSG car and need to make a quick pass. Reaching down to bump over the shifter isn't as natural.
