For a commuter car, cant justify the premium for the desiel, allthogut I would love it. I have not had any problems with my Honda, but it seems like every time I turn around his VW has some issue that needs attention.
A lot of that depends on the year of each vehicle. What year is your Honda and what year is his Jetta?
