> [@crxgator](#): > > yeah especially since diesel cost .50/gal more… :wtf In the long run, the diesel will be easier/cheaper overall. Even up front you’ll save a few bucks. Picture how the Prius is about $6k more than the Corolla. If you got a Jetta TDI (new) as opposed to a Jetta 2.0T, the cost different will be minimal compared to the $6k. You may pay $.50 more a gallon, but you won’t have to pay the disposal fee of the Prius battery when it shits the bed in 5-7 years. ---

and you can easily get 60-70 mpg with a tdi… .50 cents to go an extra 20-30 miles, im game. The tdi is going to be alot more reliable in the long run and last many more miles. ---

I would rather have a Golf TDI for that price. my dad’s toyota uses 87, gets like 42mpg, seats 4-5 and has a usable trunk, and not just one cupholder. its actually got a LOT of cupholders. ---
