In a time when anything under $2.20
gallon for gas is a bargain, those shopping for a new car are
definitely comparing notes.
In fact, with gas prices at an all-time
high and no sign of them taking a turn for the better anytime soon,
more and more buyers are considering alternative fueled cars, like
hybrids and diesel-powered automobiles.
This also is a good time for auto
manufacturers to tout their fuel-efficient wares. And with the new
2005 Jetta TDI, Volkswagen is no exception.
Volkswagen's newest model consists of
an electronically advanced, high-tech TDI diesel engine - one that
offers greater gas mileage with an even better overall performance.
While most drivers can expect to get
anywhere from 15 to 25 miles to the gallon, the new Jetta TDI boasts
an average of 35.5 miles per gallon in the city and 41.5 on the open
road. This is enough to get you from Detroit to Washington, D.C. -
more than 600 miles one way - without ever having to stop at a gas
station.
Not a bad deal, the company says, for
those looking to save a few dollars at the pump.
As with most new cars, the Jetta TDI is
available in either the standard five-speed manual transmission or
the optional six-speed automatic.
In addition, the car uses a brand new
technology that allows the engine to run much more quietly, with more
power and efficiency than its late 1970s and early 1980s
counterparts.
As with most new cars, this
newest Volkswagen is brimming with standard safety
features like front, front-side, and side curtain air bags; ABS;
crash active head restraints; and three-point seat belts for all
passengers.
Specifically, the new Jetta TDI
includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a six-disc, in-dash CD
changer, heated front seats, cruise control and remote central
locking.
