2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI - Clean Diesel! Almost Here!












Greetings!

Here at Boston Volkswagen we are extremely excited for the release of the new Jetta TDI Clean Diesels! Boston VW will be receiving the Jetta TDI Demo Vehicle in the next few days and it will available for test drives and special ordering for our customers.

The starting prices of the Jetta TDI will start at $21,500 and comes standard with rear fully independent four-link suspension, Anti-lock brakes, Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution, Hydraulic Brake Assistant, Anti-Slip Regulation and Electronic Stabilization Program. Not to mention, you also will have the standard luxuries that are offered in our current Volkswagen Jetta's such as power windows, power locks, A/C, and much much more! Under the hood comes standard with 140 horsepower and 235 pounds of torque!

We are also pleased to announce that our independent third party certified testing of the fuel economy on the 2009 Jetta TDI with DSG transmission is now complete. AMCI is the industry leader in independent vehicle testing, validation and certification. As expected, the ‘real world” fuel economy is significantly higher than the EPA estimates.

2009 Jetta TDI 2.0L DSG Fuel Economy

EPA City: 29 Highway: 40 Combined: 33

AMCI City: 38 Highway: 44 Combined: 41

The “real world” AMCI - measured combined fuel economy represents an overdelivery by 24.2% versus the stated EPA fuel economy.

If you would like your name and email address added to our list of interested customers and be notified as soon as the TDI is available to schedule your test drive, just send me an email at internet@bostonvw.com and in the subject line specify "TDI Test Drive!" [Jason G.]

Jetta SportsWagen's Have Arrived!!! [Jetta Wagon Revival]











SPECS ON SALE: Today!
BASE PRICE: $19,000 (est)
DRIVETRAIN: 2.5-liter, 170-hp, 177-lb-ft I5; fwd, five-speed manual
CURB WEIGHT: 3228 lb0-60 MPH: 8.4 sec (mfr)
FUEL ECONOMY (EPA): 24 mpg


After a short hiatus, a wagon returns to Volkswagen's Jetta model line with the SportWagen. Rising gasoline prices have VW believing that old-fashioned wagon flexibility will lure customers and serve as a loyalty builder for the brand.

The SportWagen's utility comes from 32.8 cubic feet of trunk space, which doubles the sedan's 16-cubic-foot trunk. With the rear seats folded, capacity grows to 66.9 cubic feet in an interior that features VW's typical high-quality materials and build.

Two engines will be available at launch: a 2.5-liter, 170-hp inline-five-cylinder and a 2.0-liter, 200-hp turbocharged four-cylinder. Five-cylinder models get a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, while turbo SportWagens get a six-speed manual or a direct-shift gearbox.

In late August, a 50-state diesel with 236 lb-ft of torque will be available across the entire Jetta range, equipped with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. VW has high expectations for its diesel technology and forecasts a 50/50 sales split between gasoline- and diesel-equipped SportWagens.


A drive of an inline-five model through the Virginia countryside and crowded downtown Washington, D.C., streets revealed road manners we've come to expect from Jettas. The chassis is among the best in the class, with a quiet, confident, well-dampened ride, and is responsive to steering inputs, but we would like a weightier steering feel.


The engine was the only downside, providing just adequate power, but a crisp-shifting manual gearbox helped matters some. Neither the 2.0-liter turbo nor the diesel was available to drive, but no doubt both will better bolster the sport in the SportWagen equation.


With sales expectations of 14,000 units a year, VW won't single-handedly return wagons to prominence in America. However, it should wake some people up to the functionality and fuel efficiency afforded by wagons and pick up a few new VW followers along the way.
