The Audi A3 TDI is running the same setup as the Jetta for 10K more!
Puebla eh...that sucks.

I'm going back to the VW dealer tomorrow(drove the Jetta today, lots of fun) and drive the Golf TDI which should be even more fun (same motor less weight).

The salesman was riding with me when the street curved down and to the left. I said "hang on!" and floored it. Right in the middle of the curve was a hump. The jetta never bobbled, went over it with hardly a thump from the suspension and the car didn't get out of line even a little bit. I was very impressed.

Yes I saw the article about the A3 in Diesel Power mag. I don't see how Audi can justify that price difference.

and when you buy a Lamborgini or even Porsche you get the Audi interior somewhat changed but you get the message. Don't forget Bentley...cause VW owns them as well.

I am a big fan of the German marques, however I like them to be made in Germany! Mexican built anything is never the best, I don't even like their beer!

Why pay for German engineering when it is being built by a nation not known for their "engineering/construction?"

All of the BMW/MB SUVs are made in S. Carolina/Alabama but 90% of the owners don't know that!
