We bought a Jetta

How much did you chip in?

[CJ]

Nothing. We meaning my parents.

I know I know. I'm just kiddin'.

[Secret Chimp]

Average MPG is just over 37 right now.

This is a superb car. We paid a hair over $22000 for it. I saw the paperwork. Leftover 2013...not a bad deal for this car.

Definitely not I'd think

So how much does your mom miss the buttery thrust of the Honda V6?

I thought Honda engines have no torque?

No kidding...

[CJ]

Not at all. The torque this thing makes is insane. The engine is very refined. The Honda engine is great, but the now indicated 42.8 MPG is well worth the trade off. They're are very few diesel sounds in the car, and it sounds awesome outside. There is no odor. The Lexus smells worse.

[CJ]

My dad filled it up yesterday and the calculated MPG was 38.2. This is 15 more than the Honda was doing in the same commute.
