Here's some photos of our new green mode of transportation. It's a 2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI (diesel). The 2009 model was named the "Green Car of the Year" - beating out the Prius. In 2010, one of the Audi diesel models won the award. This VW model beat out the hybrid Prius in mpg road tests. This VW, once broken in, will get nearly 50 mpg and it's NOT a hybrid. Ours is Reflex Silver with Titan Black interior, 6 sp manual trans, 17" alloy wheels, bluetooth, panoramic sunroof, and the sport protection package. It also has 8 airbags, including the side AND head curtain airbags in the both the front and back seat. We just had the windows tinted . . . it looks BAD! (meaning GOOD!) VW approves of a biodiesel blend of up to B5 while it's under warranty, and there's a biodiesel station not too far from our house, so we're looking into that.
