Had some electricall issue with horn and windshield wiper motor, but all cleared up.
I have put on 15k+ mile plus in 6 months. 30 local 40 highway mix over 44 long distance highway. Car is fantastic.

MSRP is 24,680.00, salesman will sell it for 24,100.00 Plus taxes and tag.
But they will not budge on a $599.95 dealer service fee.
Is this the best we can do ????
Would it make sense to order this car? We can wait if we can get a better price.
But here's the thing, VW is determined to go head to head with the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Hyundai Sonota sized cars and the current Jetta is statistically not up to the job.
Internally known as NCS – or New Compact Sedan – this updated Jetta will be built on a re-engineered fifth-generation Jetta platform. The new model has also been referred to as the Jetta VI.
Could also be an AWD option to help elbow it's way into the new 2011 line up.
The 2010 Jetta is mostly Hyundai Elantra sized (just higher in price with less warranty) so VW is bringing out the bigger version of the Jetta TDI this fall to mercifully put it into the new Jettacord, Jettason, Jettacam size.
Not a bad idea either, our 2006 sits right next to our 2007 Nissan Versa in the garage, and the wheel base is the same and most other specs are too. I would love to have a little more room in the Jetta, especially the very cramped leg room in the back, and a couple more inches in width.
If you buy the 2010 you will miss out on what could be a very improved 2011 Jetta and from what the rumor mill is saying, at about the same price. The TDI engine will probably be the most sold, and I read that the gas VW 5 banger for the Jetta might be Kapoot in the future. (never had great MPG's)
They should have any glitches in the current 2 ltr TDI pretty much figured out in the 2011 as well, so no fear of "first of the new model" suprises.
So give it 4 or 5 months and don't pick up the big bill for a small car.
Thanks
MSRP is $26,554 (+destination charge), and I paid $740 under MSRP. After tax & fee, it was $28,700.. and I bought 6yr 100k mile extended warranty at $2000.
This is my first VW... I am happy with my Jetta
Thanks

Look at a Mercedes diesel and check the build quality of that vs the Mercedes gas cars. Diesel has heavier components, as they want both the car and the engine to last a long time.
Prior to purchasing my 2009 Jetta, I did drive both the gas and diesel. I did not see a huge difference in build quality. It will remain to be seen if the car will last as long as the engine.

Looking for information on the money factor for a 2010 Golf TDI DSG 4 door. It's for 3 years, 36,000 miles.
Just need to know if I can negotiate lower.
Thanks!

Is that just a personal opinion or is that the actual sales breakdown?
At least these are scientific findings... :surprise:

I am often amused by comparisons of the TDI to gas versions and the statements of how it would take long to recoup the diesel premium. This is nonsense. The TDI is it's own trim level with several added features compared to the base JSW. Also, it is an APPLES and ORANGES comparison. Have you ever driven a diesel with 236 ftlbs of torque? Will a gasser last 400K miles or more?
We have the 2010 JSW TDI with manual transmission and pano roof. It's a great car. I never even considered the gas version and would not buy it. The TDI engine was a big part of our purchase decision.

Looks like 84%!
(The number is most definitely known/published/available on Freds and probably the vortex too.)
You are also right about comparing gas to diesel. It is a poor example as there is NO comparison to the driving. And you will get the extra back when you sell or if you keep it till it falls apart. The VW TDI is the only real winner in their fleet.
Yesterday I test drove a TDI JSW 6M w/no sunroof. Niello is getting MSRP. CarsDirect shows only the dealer purchase option for this model. Must be selling!!
(I used CarD 5 years ago - only dealer involvement was delivery - and got a great price. The JSW TDI would be a good complement to my '82 Rabbit diesel pickup.
ez....
That is bad news. I have been waiting to see the bigger Jetta 2011 style with the idea of trading off my 2006 TDI to get the extra room promised in the new model.
The trade off on our Jetta's large trunk is the cramped leg room in the back seat, no reason to keep the Jetta Toyota Corolla size with that much power and mpg's.
Common, VW, lets get building!
They are at zero for non-TDI Golfs so I would hope they would have low rates for the TDI models, my CU is currently at 4.75
The base Jetta sedan models will eventually have an inexpensive simple torsion-beam rear suspension to cheapen their cost, but upscale Jettas will retain the more expensive independent rear suspension they have today. I'm not sure when the Jetta changes will be made. I think Sportwagen will be immune from these changes for several years, as the current model is only two years old. We love the size of our '10 Sportwagen TDI.
It was supposed to compete with the Camry but it's still 6" shorter!
According to the nearest guy with a tape masure, it is also 9" shorter than a Malibu!
Seems even with a brand new model and all the mid size sedans out there to measure for themselves, VW just can't get it right.
This 3.5" longer 2011 Jetta was touted to be the new Mid Size competitive Car.
The all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata (35 mpg) is placed right into the middle of the hotly-contested family sedan segment, already occupied by such established players as the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu, to name just a few.
The new 2011 Jetta was supposed to be in there with that gang, not showing up with a little porked up 3200 lb. Toyota Corolla.
AAARRGH! :mad:
Where did this come from? I haven't read or seen anything that said the Jetta was supposed to move up and compete in the midsize class. Everything I've read is that the new midsize car that VW is going to produce in the US, I think Tennessee, is going to fill that role and take the place of the Passat eventually. It's getting confusing with the Jetta getting bigger, a new midsize car without a name, is the Passat going to continue to be sold in the US, the CC. :confuse:
VW has said all along their one of goals was to make the Jetta quicker saying it takes way to long on the line to assemble.
Better they has said "we want to make the Jetta BETTER" but they didn't and probably regret they way those comments got quoted..
The Company is still on that course tho as this item came in this morning...
"Volkswagen reported a profit for the year and record sales, confirming numbers released early this month. But a closer look showed that its premium Audi unit accounted for almost all the operating profit of 1.9 billion euros, which was a 71 percent decline from 2008.
Audi last week reported an operating profit of 1.6 billion euros. That means Volkswagen's volume brands, barely broke even, according to Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, director of the Center for Automotive Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany.
''VW Group profit is based almost exclusively on the strength of Audi,'' Mr. Dudenhöffer wrote. ''VW Group's volume brands are headed for a new cost problem.''
I think VW has a huge product problem right now, they promoted a new model Jetta that would compete with the 'mid-size' vehicles but this new Jetta falls far short of that. They have the Passat, still not 'Accord size' and the expensive, CC.. that actually is a "Mid-Size"
So by adding a puny 3.5 " to the old Jetta, dropping a dumpster full of suspension parts and who know what else to cut corners, is this going to push their world sales through the roof....
I think their new company focus is now on getting into the electric/hybrid market and the TDI's are now stalled in place on the drawing board, while the designers all go marching off in another direction. Even their new elect/hybrid design uses a gas engine....
All I'm saying is..no new VW for me. :sick:
Jetta is a compact.
VW called the 2011 the NCS or New Compact Sedan prior to it's press conference to introduce the Jetta on the 15th.
NMS or New Midsize Sedan is the competitor to Malibu, Fusion, Camry, Accord, Sonata.
NMS will be built in Chattanooga, TN beginning in 2011. It will likely have Passat nameplate in North America.
No need to be mad longo2.
VW just can't get it right.
Well, VW could not be more clear, NCS = Compact, NMS = Midsize
