She doesnt plug it in until the weather is below -20C so this is only a few days during the winter. Power is great, tons of passing power, I was quite suprised...she took me for a drive, and it will keep up with and maybe outrun a CRD in stock form, while getting 2-3 times the mileage...super warranty so maintenance wasnt anything she was concerned with...she leases them and turns them back before the warranty is up...after that I cant see it being worse than other VW parts...

Buy the diesel Jetta Whitney, I'm trying to get Katie to buy one but she wants a D-Max. Told her if her head gets any bigger she wont fit in the house and getting a D-Max will only inflate it more.

I liked the Commanders...would look better with bigger wheels or a little lift...also like the GMC Acadia...buuuuut...I would feel like a soccer mom in an SUV at this point, so I am resisting...
