King of the road!
This is my second one. Vw bought back my 09 TDI for a crazy high price. Bought this in dec 17 when the fix was approved. Sharp handling and gobs of tourqey power make it a blast to drive. Sumptuous interior makes me miss my last car, Mercedes e320cdi, very little. Original Pirelli tires were awful! On michelin defender ltx now, much better.
The TDI engine is great
Bought the car new and now have 37,000 miles. So far I put on new front brake pads at 36,000 miles and rears still have 40% left. I do not tow anything with the car. Put on new tires at 32000 miles. Car is going to need a new battery soon. Car handles great in stop and go traffic. I get 23 in the city/hwy and on road trips I will get 28MPG @80 MPH on flat areas, and 26.5 on mountain interstates. Car is comfortable for 4 adults with great cargo space. TDI engine is great and ith will use 1/2 a quart of oil between oil changes. These engines are good for 200,000-300,000 miles. The only Diesel engine that is better is the Mercedes Benz. SUV handles great in the snow with Blizzacks on the car. Plenty of traction and handles very well in winter driving areas. This is my second TDI, first one was bought out by VW during buy backs.
