Well guys, it's time for me to go. The 'Balt is leaving next week . The place I now work at is a longer trip away and I can't justify spending so much money into gas. The car isn't practical for me anymore. I've been looking for a well equiped car with 4 doors that has a good mpg rating for the past 2 weeks. I settled for a 2013 VW Jetta TDI. Went to try the car today and fell in love. That means I will soon be parting out my car but please don't bother asking for the coilovers, I have someone local who is interested already. I know I haven't been here long but it's been a fun ride and lots of nice people in here

 

The Jetta is definitely nice though!

Enjoy the VW, the TDI's are nice, just make sure you follow the recommend service plan

 

tdi's are badass

 

Older tdi's are fun because the mod market is a little better. I was thinking about getitng a 2000-2002 golf tdi and turbo swapping it, then I bought an LNF

 

That'll be my first turbo and diesel car ever. It took me some time getting used when test driving. The surge is right at 2000 rpm and lasts up to 3000 rpm. It doesn't have much horsepower but you can clearly feel the torque. The interior is also very nice.

 

Well I'd recommend the tdi forums, my gf has a tdi I've spent plenty of time over there, lots of info. The torque is addicting

 

the torque is addicting. I have a 2008 diesel Grand Cherokee tuned with 440 torque. feels way faster at the slower end of the spectrum than my TVS cobalt... but once your moving its like... needs more horsepower!!!!

 

Very nice car... I bet your loving those mpgs lol. A buddy of my has a 2012 jetta wagon, and he's thinking of running free flow exhaust, intake, and tune, which he said it would put down about 190-200 whp and 250 wtq and still get about 40 mpg. That sound like a win, win because thats as fast or a bit faster than a stock ss/sc and way better mpgs. Good buy....

 

I think this is funny everyone is selling thier cobalts and getting volkswagens

Jetta owner here

Your going to love the new car trust me

 

A Jetta is a Chick Car.

 

that fuel economy should be great too

 

You don't have to leave the site if you no longer own a Cobalt

 

Agreed there are plenty of others that no longer own a cobalt

 

To me the Golf is more of a chick car than the Jetta and well at least the wife is happy about the purchase. She couldn't stand the impractical two doors, excessively hot leather seats during summer, crappy ride quality because of the coilovers suspension and interior that was falling appart anymore. And the fact that I had to pay $70 worth of gas this week just to get to work and back home really killed the car for me.

 

YES YOU DO, DAMN TRAITORS!!!

jk jk, i kid i kid lol

 

nice looking car, not my choice since I live/work in north America, but everyones gotta move on


ehh do something useful, go install the efr lmao

 

lol wut!? O.o efr? mean zfr? i dont have it yet anyway nor am i home to install it

 

I always thought Cobalts got pretty decent MPGs? Am I missing something here?

Good luck with the VW. Never tried a TDI but the mileage is impressive.

 

I think the 20mpg difference is helpful, and around me diesel is less than premium right now and normally is close sometimes higher sometimes lower

 

Your car makes 415 wtrq at 3500 rpms and you are talking about how much the torque is addicting on your gf's tdi lol.

 

They get mid 40mpg mixed? Wow that's news to me and everything I've ever read about them...

 

What are you all getting MPG wise?

 

Ss89 would you happen to live anywhere near chicago and want to trade tc seats for my recaros+cash? if so please pm me

 

the vw turbo diesels do get great milage, but they can be a little cold natured in the winter. My tc cobalt can get 33-35mpg highway if i don't drive like a maniac, but im still on stock turbo. And yes i have checked it the old way by filling up verses miles driven. Good luck with the car, and keep it out of the shop, they can be expensive to fix.
