We used to have shop days and we were kind of in a rivalry and he started his and revved it one day and so i got in mine and revved it and everyone put their hands over their ears because mine was so damn loud. Yea he wasnt to happy and niether was the instructor.

yeah it is. i get 42 MPG on the highway and 25 MPG around town and that is whipping it around. im not known for slow driving. it has plenty of room and plenty of power. i think its making about 130HP and 250 torque. i really want a programmer but its 700 dollars and i dont have that type of money. the only thing i dont like is it is really hard to start under 20 degrees and impossible under 10 degrees. pretty good overall though. if you desperatley want a diesel go pickup a jetta

Yeah that would be ok.It is a diesel.It should have a plugin for the heater for glowplugs if it has them.Yeah I heard they could get 50mpg pretty easily.It's pretty quiet though isn't it?
