  • 0:20 damn!

  • You wouldn't think it, but that car has a shit load of toque

  • @Blackhawk9188 They are (semi) automatic, they use a dsg gearbox. a dsg gearbox is a manual gearbox that is asisted by a computer to make it work like an automatic one but it change gear way faster then a normal automatic and manual gearbox

  • Why don't we see you shifting? Are they automatic?

  • I own a Jetta TDI and it's a blast to drive! You can just feel the power of the diesel when you accelerate. My Jetta has an onboard computer that I can use to listen to my iPod or Satellite Radio. It gets great fuel mileage, I filled up the car when nearly 500 miles were put on the tank of fuel.

  • I drive a tdi jetta myself, I previously drove a subaru legacy. Since i have been driving the tdi, my fuel economy has more than doubled. Great cars!

  • @420witchdoctor and you would know this.... from some TV short you saw? There's a reason the instructors are "strict", it's because they are trying to develop the drivers into professionals who will make a career out of racing.

  • They just aren't like most of the crew chiefs I've met. It's more like a drill instructor at the pre-race meeting.

  • how are they assholes? im not saying they are or arent

  • For sure, right?
