@tom69z28 Hey, it's all cool. Have you checked out the BWM 335d? Now that's an awesome diesel ... of the more than one hundred cars I've driven over the past few years, that one sits at the top of the charts.
@tom69z28 OK. first off the jetta will get better milage than the eco. period. second the jetta has 100 more ft pounds of torque (and more horse power) 3rd, it's a much nicer car and has about twice the resale value. think before you speak.
@tom69z28 you are right somewhat, quite often Euro cars are a more to maintain, but again you get what you pay for is the idea. (I personal always buy Japanese cars cause they have never done me wrong) but comparing vw to chev is in my humble opinion is just silly I've seen more problems with chev than just about ANY car, and there such junk to drive.
@tom69z28 well they don't "lack" torque, they tend to sacrifice it for good mileage and high end horsepower, I owned a RSX that got 53mpg on the highway (i got many times) and still would fly 0-60 in under 7 seconds. THAT is amazing. it's all what you want. they are legendary in there reliability as well. dito on the british cars, i think the only guys who like them are the type that want something to go wrong so they can fix it :P
@tom69z28 yep thats the average i got on the highway, logged it many times. Millage i all about weight and wind resistance, since the rsx was made to be extremely light (2600 LBS) and aerodynamic, even though it's engine make 200HP it's only a 2.0L those things combined gave me amazing highway mileage.
@tom69z28 I'm anal with my milage because I drive a LOT. many times I got that mileage,
and it's not like i would have made a mistake, I could get 900km out of a tank and it was only a 50L tank. it usually took 45L to fill.
sure 36.7 but your average mouth-breather does'nt know shit about cars or how to drive them. I currently own a tsx and it's rated 22city/31 highway, but I get about 40 combined city/highway
@FacemeltingEntertain The new Volkswagen TDIs are made in one of the most economically friendly manufacturing facilities in Tennessee. They may be foreign owned but their quality built right here in the homeland.
What is the best RPM range that you should shift a diesel car...If it is important a 2.5 tdi Audi a6...So when should i shift if i want the best 0-60 time? :)
@shalimardrwalker they do operate at much lower revs but the reason they are more efficient is because the fuel they burn has more BTUs of energy than gasoline and compressed ignition is always going to be more efficient then spark ignition as well, again, the fuel is the key.
In Denmark were I live, Diesel is about 10% cheeper than regular gas, thats why there are sold more diesel cars here than cars there drives on regular gas
@ghrpdx Well Diesel cars are more expansive than gas cars, also there is a tax you have to pay every year, it is dobbel the price for diesel "about 2000 us $" But even then it is cheaper to drive, because of the millage it does.
TDI is good for mpg, not 0-60, so don't expect this thing to be a rocket. Currently, I'm interested in the sportwagen tdi for a family wagon. It's got a great interior design - very much upscale. However, currently diesel is about $0.50 more per gallon than 87 octane, so figure in an extra $200 a year for fuel when compared to a vehicle with same mpg. Not a deal breaker, but doesn't help VW either.
@RJL1981 Good thing diesel motors double the MPG of a shitty gas motor. Good luck finding a 50 MPG car that runs on gas besides a really gay hybrid. Odd that it was that slow to 60 tho considering truck diesels smoke some really fast cars out there with ease. Needs a bigger turbo!
@consordjung Tell us how you really feel, lol. I'm not sure what's "gay" about hybrids, besides their unreasonably high msrp... Hybrids are good, as you can hypermile upwards of 100mph, but I just wonder about cost associated with a dead fuel cell, And this jetta ran an average 0-60, as they are an 8.2 second vehicle to 60mph.
@adammdamann I'll bet you're one of those that drives a POS Chevrolet and have a "Buy American" bumper sticker with American flag attached to the driver's side window, am I right? GM/Ford/Chrysler would only dream of building cards as nice as the Germans. But do you blame them, bunch of double cheeseburger eating far a**es can't built a go cart if you asked them to.
@tengauged ha it is.. the TDi isn't aimed at the performance market. although, with bigger injector nozzles. and chip tuning (around 6-700$ for both) it will beat the pants of most compacts in its class. That low end torque (after mods) shrinks the 0-60 time drastically
@peterkim1999 i didnt reply to your last comment. yes, agreed, it does drive by itself. and agree in your last comment. again yes, toyota cars do keep going. any argument here or are you just talking to yourself?
@peterkim1999 i know that but with only little horse power, but horse power isnt alot u know, btw these vw engine can be use for 4x4 due to off-road required torque rather than horses ^^
Remember the Jetta TDI aren't 0-60 cars, the power band and gearing are more for sprints in the 30-80mph range. The engine is effertless in hill climb, has great highway passing power and still gives you excellent overall FE. When buying a VW Golf/Jetta TDI, I would strongly recommend that you test drive both the DSG and 6 speed manual. The manual clutch can be hard to learn (re-learn) at first, but you will end up being a better driver driving the manual car.
@sackattack360 I JUST SOLD 2009 JETTA 2.5 FIVE CILINDER 170 HP.ITS FAST BUT I WANT MORE FUEL ECONOMY SO I BOUGHT JETTA TDI SPORTWAGEN AND I CAN GO AROUND 43 MPG HWY.AND AROUND 32 MPG CITY
Lol, I just got done spanking one of these TDI's tonight and I wanted to find a video to watch like this. Not bad and with 236 ft. of torque it helps launch the car but with only 140 horses it's still too slow to compete with.
Come on dudes, if you'd know a bit about cars, you wouldn't scream "OMG it's only going at 4500 rpm yuck !". This is a TDI. That means TURBO DIESEL INJECTION.
I hope that I'm not actually learning something to all of you.
This car is powerful at low RPM because it has Diesel engine. It's like a truck.
@killerguitar44 Actually, it stands for "Turbocharged Direct Injection." ;-) But you're absolutely right, it's diesel only, and you can't directly compare numbers with those of a gas engine; the engine types work differently.
@killerguitar44: That's why when I went up against this car tonight I noticed it wasn't doing too bad at catching up but the game was done, spent, finished for him. Then the idiot goes speeding through the lanes as he was doing the whole time anyway. Lol.
@killerguitar44 Somethin intoxicating about a diesel only reving to 4K, but that rush of torque on the way there is addicting...actually SOUNDS pretty good to boot....you can floor it in 6th gear and it'll accelerate as if it was 4th or 5th in a gas car.
@jimihendrixtribute If you're referring to the acronym, you're wrong. TDI stands for "Turbocharged Direct Injection." This distinguishes them from the older diesels, which used indirect injection. I can't post a link, but you can find this info without much difficulty on VW's websites.
@killerguitar44 i think its TURBO-CHARGED DIRECT INJECTION. That does not make sense turbo diesel injection. Well obviously if it a diesel its got an "injection" system. But yeah ur righ about that other stuff i love diesels ahaha
@dergangedchipmunk Compared to what? You were expecting to get to 60 in only two gears, then? That would be pretty wild for a car like this. You do realize it's in mph not km/h, right?
Had 2004 Jetta. Nothing but problems from day 1. Nothing but excuses from VW mechanics. Windows fell out transmission, oil, engine, you name it. Drove great for awhile though. Traded it in 2007 for a Chrysler and have had a way better vehicle lots of warranties but not earth shattering stuff like the VW.
It feels faster than it really is. All that torque makes it feel A LOT faster. Mind you that this is meant to be an economy car/Prius killer, of course it's going to be slower than your BMW. Apples to oranges.
Which is what every Volkswagen says when you are accelerating at full throttle. What do you think your vehicle gets when you accelerate full throttle?
@DeltaAirlinesFlyer do you drive the 5spd or the automatic 6spd. I have the 5spd and can drive like that all day every day and get no less than 23mpg in the city. Drive it normal and I get about 29-31 in the city. 2008 MKV 2.5 L
If you beef it up with aftermarket parts such as a turbo without completely upgrading your motor, your prehistoric engine will blow up and you'll end up with shrapnel in all of your body. To have a 4.6 V8 with 260 hp is pathetic no matter how you look at it. Also, you'll have to remove your steering rack and put in a better one, one that doesn't come from a tractor. Also, if you upgrade it, think that you have no weight over the rear so you'll be sitting spinning tires in a cloud of smoke.
Mustangs are junkers and should ALL be squashed. There should be a wrecking yard style car press outside the Ford factory. When each mustang drives out, they should all drive right into that press and be squashed into a cube and shipped to China to make a "slightly" more clever car.
Have you driven the 2010 Mustang? It's quite nice. I spend a week with a V6 convertible and was extremely impressed by the improvement in quality. I was never a Mustang fan (and we're talking 35+ years) and the 2010 changed my mind completely.
Just wait till the 2011 Mustang. 305HP V6, and a 400HP 5.0L V8. That kicks the Camaro's ass. The camaro manages 402HP (Automatic) with 6.2L, the Mustang gets more from a 5.0L DOHC engine. And the mustang weighs a lot less than the camaro. (Not that I don't like the Camaro mind, I do). My mom has a 2007 Mustang with the 4.0L And it can pull pretty good.
Mustangs suck, and it may be lighter and slightly faster, but its still only a 410 HP 5 liter.... ROFL 6.2 Liter LS3 FTW!!! (plus the Camaro looks BADASSED!!!!)
@TacticalSuperRebel so the camaro has a full liter on the mustang but only makes 15 more hp? sounds pretty shitty to me. plus it weighs way more and doesnt handle as well as the new mustang with a track pack
Wait, mustangs suck? 410HP 5 Liter.... The Camaro LS3 is a 420HP 6.2L... 67.75 hp/liter for the old fashioned, pushrod 6.2L. 82.4hp/liter for the new 5.0L DOHC. The new Coyote is more engine than the LS3 ever will be. It's not all about displacement.
Oh, but it IS all about displacement! especially when the 6.2 gets the same MPGs and has more power still being bigger, and yea the DOHC 5 liter is good, but if the LS3 variant were upgraded to a 6.2 liter DOHC.... the Ford engineers would probly start crying.... LOL
Yeah, ok. GM isn't going to completely reengineer the 6.2L for 4v/cyl DOHC. It would be a massive redesign and I don't think they will spend that much money on it. The new 5.0L will get 25mpg highway, the 6.2L gets 24mpg. I think Ford still wins. Especially considering that the camaro outweighs the mustang by hundreds of pounds. The mustang will be faster by far at the drag strip and stop lights.
I never said they were going to reengineer the LS3, I said, if it was a DOHC, or if they do design one, and even if the shitstain is slightly faster on the dragstrip (not by much at all), it still has a solid rear chassis, and is still a FuckedOverRebuiltDodge...
Wow, dude ok you keep on believing your delusion. It has been shown numerous times that the solid rear axle setup on the mustang works just as well as an IRS. And once the new engine replaces the old (a 100HP difference btw) the Camaro will NEVER be able to keep up. FuckedOverRebuiltDodge eh? I won't even deign to respond to this idiocy. Whatever dude, you are making youself look like a fool.
You realize with all your shit-talking that the 411HP Mustang isn't till 2011, right now its a 310ish HP Mustang compared to a 425HP Camaro (2010) even back in 2000 the Camaro had 305 HP, and what did the Mustang have in 2006-2008? 300HP even, its about time Ford makes something with SOMEWHAT comparable power..... and that solid rear-end is just as good eh? Thats like saying the Camaro is just as fast as an Enzo Ferrari because they both have engines, but if thats what you think.....
Mhm because you are so familiar with this. Notice that it is the 2011 model year. It will be a summer of 2010 release- that's this summer. Notice that even with the 100HP less, the Mustang was only about .3 seconds slower in the 0-60 than the Camaro. That's right, a 310HP Mustang was able to match a 420HP Camaro. And guess what? The V6 will make about 5 HP less than the current V8. Sad.
Yea, so congrats after many years of failing and making whimpy little 'sports' cars, they have something halfway decent, its about time, and with that solid rear end, it probably gets better straight-line runs, thats not that surprising, but I wasn't comparing 0-60 times, I was looking at raw power, not whos technically faster ;)
Hmmm.. Well lets think about something. If the mustang is just as fast as the Camaro, why need more power? Why does the Mustang NEED another 100HP when it competes just fine with the current engine? Maybe GM, Chrysler, Ford should just put 600HP Turbo charged engienes in their respectable cars because we all know, "It's all about HP numbers"
HELL YES! That would be badassed!!! that would be one Ford worth owning, an Escort or equivalent sub-compact car with 600+HP..... I'd buy it!!! but thats the ONLY way that I would own a Ford ;)
Wow. You buy cars only for HP, that's crazy. If you want power the new Ford Taurus has like 340HP. The new 5.4L GT500 has like 550 or something like that. Nobody makes a subcompact with that much horsepower. Nobody.
Pretty sure the new taurus makes 365, which is damn good, even though its a Ford, but I could put thousands into my engine and twin-turbo it an get 350-400 HP, so its not un-heard of, and once again, I didn't say anybody made a 600+HP subcompact, I said it would be cool IF THEY DID!!! and the GT500 is retarded, why would I get that when I could get the Hennessey supercharged Camaro for the same price? LOL
@TacticalSuperRebel Hell yeah! Ford sux ballz! They all fall apart after 500 miles. My 84 Vette smokes anything on the road! It might be the fastest car in North America. Found On Highway Destroyed.
@bottzxI32 Found on Roadside Dead (FORD), however I would say that isn't the case now... Chrysler/Dodge = Doom...too bad none of the US manufactures invest in diesel car/wagon...
@TacticalSuperRebel because somebody would want a car that they could actually drive without saying to themselves, wow i cant believe i bought this peice of shit.
@mpgomatic a monster truck can beat the new mustangs lol i seen it at the drag strip the other day mustang ran a 9 sec and the monster truck ran a 7 sec in a quarter mile
@valereydyachuk Are you stupid or what have u been in a chevy camaro the interior quality is junk. The only thing taht was missing from the base V6 mustang was the engine with no power but don't worry ricer boy that problem has been solved with the 2011 model. 304hp base motor and 400+ v8 will leave the competition in the dust. The mustang is just getting warmed up
TURBO DIESEL FOR THE WIN!

Come on dudes, if you'd know a bit about cars, you wouldn't scream "OMG it's only going at 4500 rpm yuck !". This is a TDI. That means TURBO DIESEL INJECTION.
I hope that I'm not actually learning something to all of you.
This car is powerful at low RPM because it has Diesel engine. It's like a truck.

@killerguitar44 Actually, it stands for "Turbocharged Direct Injection." ;-) But you're absolutely right, it's diesel only, and you can't directly compare numbers with those of a gas engine; the engine types work differently.

@killerguitar44: That's why when I went up against this car tonight I noticed it wasn't doing too bad at catching up but the game was done, spent, finished for him. Then the idiot goes speeding through the lanes as he was doing the whole time anyway. Lol.

@killerguitar44 Somethin intoxicating about a diesel only reving to 4K, but that rush of torque on the way there is addicting...actually SOUNDS pretty good to boot....you can floor it in 6th gear and it'll accelerate as if it was 4th or 5th in a gas car.

@jimihendrixtribute If you're referring to the acronym, you're wrong. TDI stands for "Turbocharged Direct Injection." This distinguishes them from the older diesels, which used indirect injection. I can't post a link, but you can find this info without much difficulty on VW's websites.

@killerguitar44 i think its TURBO-CHARGED DIRECT INJECTION. That does not make sense turbo diesel injection. Well obviously if it a diesel its got an "injection" system. But yeah ur righ about that other stuff i love diesels ahaha

If you beef it up with aftermarket parts such as a turbo without completely upgrading your motor, your prehistoric engine will blow up and you'll end up with shrapnel in all of your body. To have a 4.6 V8 with 260 hp is pathetic no matter how you look at it. Also, you'll have to remove your steering rack and put in a better one, one that doesn't come from a tractor. Also, if you upgrade it, think that you have no weight over the rear so you'll be sitting spinning tires in a cloud of smoke.

This has been flagged as spam show
Mustangs are junkers and should ALL be squashed. There should be a wrecking yard style car press outside the Ford factory. When each mustang drives out, they should all drive right into that press and be squashed into a cube and shipped to China to make a "slightly" more clever car.
valereydyachuk 2 years ago
Have you driven the 2010 Mustang? It's quite nice. I spend a week with a V6 convertible and was extremely impressed by the improvement in quality. I was never a Mustang fan (and we're talking 35+ years) and the 2010 changed my mind completely.
mpgomatic 2 years ago
Yeah, the new mustangs are much better but if you want bang for your buck, the new camaro may be ugly but still a better engineered car.
valereydyachuk 2 years ago
Just wait till the 2011 Mustang. 305HP V6, and a 400HP 5.0L V8. That kicks the Camaro's ass. The camaro manages 402HP (Automatic) with 6.2L, the Mustang gets more from a 5.0L DOHC engine. And the mustang weighs a lot less than the camaro. (Not that I don't like the Camaro mind, I do). My mom has a 2007 Mustang with the 4.0L And it can pull pretty good.

@TacticalSuperRebel so the camaro has a full liter on the mustang but only makes 15 more hp? sounds pretty shitty to me. plus it weighs way more and doesnt handle as well as the new mustang with a track pack
matman142 1 year ago
Wait, mustangs suck? 410HP 5 Liter.... The Camaro LS3 is a 420HP 6.2L... 67.75 hp/liter for the old fashioned, pushrod 6.2L. 82.4hp/liter for the new 5.0L DOHC. The new Coyote is more engine than the LS3 ever will be. It's not all about displacement.
rudolphna54 1 year ago
Oh, but it IS all about displacement! especially when the 6.2 gets the same MPGs and has more power still being bigger, and yea the DOHC 5 liter is good, but if the LS3 variant were upgraded to a 6.2 liter DOHC.... the Ford engineers would probly start crying.... LOL
TacticalSuperRebel 1 year ago
Yeah, ok. GM isn't going to completely reengineer the 6.2L for 4v/cyl DOHC. It would be a massive redesign and I don't think they will spend that much money on it. The new 5.0L will get 25mpg highway, the 6.2L gets 24mpg. I think Ford still wins. Especially considering that the camaro outweighs the mustang by hundreds of pounds. The mustang will be faster by far at the drag strip and stop lights.
rudolphna54 1 year ago
I never said they were going to reengineer the LS3, I said, if it was a DOHC, or if they do design one, and even if the shitstain is slightly faster on the dragstrip (not by much at all), it still has a solid rear chassis, and is still a FuckedOverRebuiltDodge...
TacticalSuperRebel 1 year ago
Wow, dude ok you keep on believing your delusion. It has been shown numerous times that the solid rear axle setup on the mustang works just as well as an IRS. And once the new engine replaces the old (a 100HP difference btw) the Camaro will NEVER be able to keep up. FuckedOverRebuiltDodge eh? I won't even deign to respond to this idiocy. Whatever dude, you are making youself look like a fool.
rudolphna54 1 year ago
You realize with all your shit-talking that the 411HP Mustang isn't till 2011, right now its a 310ish HP Mustang compared to a 425HP Camaro (2010) even back in 2000 the Camaro had 305 HP, and what did the Mustang have in 2006-2008? 300HP even, its about time Ford makes something with SOMEWHAT comparable power..... and that solid rear-end is just as good eh? Thats like saying the Camaro is just as fast as an Enzo Ferrari because they both have engines, but if thats what you think.....
TacticalSuperRebel 1 year ago
Mhm because you are so familiar with this. Notice that it is the 2011 model year. It will be a summer of 2010 release- that's this summer. Notice that even with the 100HP less, the Mustang was only about .3 seconds slower in the 0-60 than the Camaro. That's right, a 310HP Mustang was able to match a 420HP Camaro. And guess what? The V6 will make about 5 HP less than the current V8. Sad.
rudolphna54 1 year ago
Yea, so congrats after many years of failing and making whimpy little 'sports' cars, they have something halfway decent, its about time, and with that solid rear end, it probably gets better straight-line runs, thats not that surprising, but I wasn't comparing 0-60 times, I was looking at raw power, not whos technically faster ;)
TacticalSuperRebel 1 year ago
Hmmm.. Well lets think about something. If the mustang is just as fast as the Camaro, why need more power? Why does the Mustang NEED another 100HP when it competes just fine with the current engine? Maybe GM, Chrysler, Ford should just put 600HP Turbo charged engienes in their respectable cars because we all know, "It's all about HP numbers"
rudolphna54 1 year ago
HELL YES! That would be badassed!!! that would be one Ford worth owning, an Escort or equivalent sub-compact car with 600+HP..... I'd buy it!!! but thats the ONLY way that I would own a Ford ;)
TacticalSuperRebel 1 year ago
Wow. You buy cars only for HP, that's crazy. If you want power the new Ford Taurus has like 340HP. The new 5.4L GT500 has like 550 or something like that. Nobody makes a subcompact with that much horsepower. Nobody.
rudolphna54 1 year ago
Pretty sure the new taurus makes 365, which is damn good, even though its a Ford, but I could put thousands into my engine and twin-turbo it an get 350-400 HP, so its not un-heard of, and once again, I didn't say anybody made a 600+HP subcompact, I said it would be cool IF THEY DID!!! and the GT500 is retarded, why would I get that when I could get the Hennessey supercharged Camaro for the same price? LOL
