My wife & I have driven Volkswagens for years. Love 'em.

Several years ago I was going to buy her a New Beetle for our wedding anniversary. I WANTED to get a TDI, but the same year & mileage TDI cost at least $3,000 more then the 2.0 liter. So we got the gasser.

Then, a little over a year ago, diesel fuel jumped up to where it was almost a dollar more per gallon then regular gas. So much for REALLY saving money by driving diesels.

I've driven LOTS of diesel cars & trucks over the years (even a couple crappy GM diesels), and love them. But I'm glad we got the gasser.
