Hello,

I am driving a 1999 1/2 Jetta and we bought a new Jetta TDI wagon to replace the Subaru that got totalled in a car accident in the winter (the Subaru was worth far more than I thought after 6 years and 100k miles).

People who complained about not buying American with my Subaru, I told them I bought a car made in my state, how about them? I never had any maintenance issues and would have sworn i would have destroyed the clutch.

The driving factors when we bought our current car? Had to be able to transport the wife and me, the two kids (well, one is going to college this year) and our stuff to the east coast to visit family. It also had to get the best mileage doing it.

We selected the TDI over the Prius (and Honda Civics).
