And yet, how many TDi's are on the road still with 300,000+ miles? How many hybrids? We have owned our Saturn for 9+ years and 162,000 miles. How long can we make the VW last? If I remember right, there is a shop down by Ohio State U (O-H!) that specializes in VW/Mercedes repair and maintenance. I'm not saying hybrids are bad, m'kay? The whole event has caused me to rethink being on the leading edge of technology. With the VW, the only part of the car that is cutting edge is the fuel injection system, yet it can get what I want from our next car- a comfortable ride, a nice interior, and savings on fuel in excess of $100 per month versus our previous car, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. That requires about 30 mpg on gasoline or 33 on diesel.
