My Jetta TDI is on one of those lots, and I’d buy it back if the price was right. Most fun and economical car I ever owned. Turned it in on the buyback just because I didn’t want to deal with all the fallout of owning a VW diesel after the news broke...

Sounds like it might be more economically feasible to just get the EPA straightened out. They cause more problems than they are worth.

I bought one of those tdi golfs that was traded in. Awesome car averaging 49mpg. Tones of power. I’m very happy. 17k out the door for a car that should go 300k miles with no sweat.killer warranty too.

My county doesn’t require emissions testing. I would love to have one.

We turned in our Beetle tdi, since at the time they could not say whether there would be a repair, or not.

It later turned out there is a repair, but results in the UK thus far, are a lot of problems with repaired cars.

Some claim all car companies use “defeat devices,” of some type in diesel and gas cars.

I liked the car, but didn’t want to hassle with VW. They buyback was an horrific process.

I will never buy anything from VW Group, although they make great vehicles. Emotion, not reason.
