I test drove the gas version a few weeks ago. It was very nice. The blinker is pretty cool; you can tap it down once to get it to blink 3 times.

Ah I c... Well just a little update... I am now the proud owner of a 2009 VW Jetta TDI

Options include:
6 cd changer
power sunroof
black leatherette interior
17" alloy wheels
rubber mats (who cares)
Sirius Satelite radio... free for 6 months...
6 spd standard transmission
31/41 mpg EPA: reported 38/46

And its white...

Not quite the color I was looking for but this was the smarter choice plus black interiors don;t show as much wear, grime, dirt, what have you. And the tires on the 17" wheels are better quality and not these:

Bridgestone Turanza EL400:

Check out that crappy rating!

OK... got the car yesterday... It's pretty nice... I don't really have any complaints about it other than the rear-view mirror is kind of cheap looking, and it has a very low profile front windshield. Other than that... It drives like a dream and handles great.

I'll post some pix once I get the camera working and have time to do so... Maybe between golf and soccer today.
