Off to Germany

This morning found out my 2022 Jetta was officially totaled from the accident a week ago. On my way out of town this afternoon put a deposit down on a new 2024 Jetta and I'll take ownership of it when I get back.

Nice. They've come a long way from the '80s boxes

I loved my 22.

Looked great, drove amazing, and I could get upwards of 51 mpg.

What engine?

Glad you are okay, hope no permanent injuries!

We had a 2010 Jetta TDI. Great car! Would get 38 MPG at 78 MPH all day. Putting a K&N air filter in it added just shy of 1 MPG.

VW gave me almost what I paid for it.

Mum had a 1977 1.6 litre Golf. 48 miles per gallon and kept until 1993 cause we couldn't get parts when it finally needed them.

A few different cars in between then a second hand Golf 2.0 litre DSG diesel. 68 miles per gallon (4 litres per 100 km) and it was
a sport line with 16" wheels instead of the old shopping cart ones. Loves to sit at 75 MPH so you have to keep an eye on it. It's
a Sportline so it has massive brakes as well. It's done 300,000 km now with a few little things on the way (headlight globes etc).
Not a bad buy for $5000.

What engine?

1.5 l 4 cylinder turbo, 158 hp

Not a big one, but more than enough for the car. When you pressed the gas she took off. Quiet and smooth. Really a fun car to drive, especially ok the winding roads up in the hills.

As long as I keep it less than 80, I get between 47 and 51 mpg.

51.6 mpg at 70 mph on the way to work one morning…

FYI I would think this is politics or political.

On the basis that everyone gets roasted, I'd say it's apolitical.
