Blenjar · 06-28-2006, 02:53 PM

What do you think of it?

GOod thing bout Jetta is, well its a diesel so u can easily kick it in biodiesel.

I voted Yaris...I have driven a bunch of Jettas and have not really cared for them as much as a Toyota...just MHO.

i think volkswagen has stopped production of their tdi series of cars because they won't be able to pass the more strict emission standards.

i would rather have the yaris diesel.

Is that for canada only?

i test drove the 2005 vw jetta GLI 1.8t right before i test drove my yaris. the one thing i was shocked the most about was how little room there is in the back seat of the jetta. i also liked how the yaris drove compared to the jetta. I'm sure the new jetta is more refined, but i HATE the new body design.

the savings in diesel mpg is negated by the fact that you have to change the timing belt every 40,000-50,000 miles on a TDI, an ~$800 charge. Plus most all VWs made in Mexico are turds, thier quality is horrible. Just look on the forums and carsurvey.org. My neighbor used to work as a mechanic at a VW place and he absolutely hates them.

i could be wrong,but i think the regulations in some u.s. states are becoming more strict, what i heard is that they are stopping production of the tdi cars but were going to be working on a new series that will meet the new standards, so i assumed they meant worldwide.

cant ask those kinda question on yaris site.

to every car that's not a yaris

sroberts · 06-29-2006, 04:17 PM

Also, you really can't compare the two. Different price ranges. TDI base price is 21,000, Yaris is 10,000. It's comparing apples to oranges.

Dawn Eshelman · 06-30-2006, 03:46 AM

I just traded my '99 VW Bug for a Yaris. I would never go back to VW! The first few years were fine, but the last years have been nothing but trouble. Something constantly going wrong...

stuffy · 06-30-2006, 08:02 AM

my friend has the little vw, a 98 golf i believe and it is starting to fall apart on him, very expensive for repairs as well.

ricko · 06-30-2006, 12:51 PM

Damn skippy, what a logical comparison!!!!

In Canada, even a BASE Rabbit costs more than my Yaris RS. Next we'll get someone wanting to compare the Yaris sedan to a BMW 330.

lol...

Yeah, I like VW, but I'd steer clear until they get their QC back online. My father -in-law is an automotive dealership consultant, and I heard him confirm that VW is having some major issues with stuff falling apart.

BTW, VW has the best commercials EVER! "Un-pimp my ride"... man, I never get tired of those!
