[Re: TDI Golf & Scirocco]



I have the long version (Jetta TDI) and I drive about 120 miles a day to get 
to work, 5 days a week, and I fuel up once a week, getting about 600 miles 
per tank. It's not that long before the car reach it's normal temp, about 5 
minutes of driving by -30°c, winter gets very cold in Canada, and if you 
have the opportunity, get the heated seats, those things are wonder... 
Otherwise, it's much more like Cathy describe it, supposing Golf, Jetta and 
Bugs are similar at some points... Now with 55000 miles in a year, never let 
me down, and takelot of pressure off the 'Roc... Gotta love that VW...
