2015 Golf TDI.

[Outlaw]

Took the car on its first "road trip" this weekend down to Carbondale to visit a friend at SIU... Here's the results. This was with four people and luggage in the car doing 75-80. 85 at one point as well where I received a speeding ticket. Damnit.

This picture was from the trip home last night. I believe the average was somewhere around 53 going down there, but, I'd been doing city driving earlier in the day.

[BS ISF]

damn impressive!

54.8 ? fock

Yeah... I was expecting high 40's because I had the car loaded up... Four people and a trunk full of shit. I'm impressed lol.

That was no cruise either because I'm still breaking it in.

Also, interestingly enough... EPA Ratings on the car are 36 city-44 highway with a combined avg of 42 MPG. I have not once had a tank average below 44, mostly city, and have had all of my highway trips north of 50.

Gotta get me one of those.

For a commuter car, it's awesome. As far as something that'll liven your spirits and invigorate your soul, you may want to look elsewhere. Alas, it gets the job done. Has a great fit and finish you simply will not find on an equivalent domestic car for $22,000 and carries on the tradition of the golf chassis of being lively and fun to throw around.

Yessir. Only way lol.

I'm ecstatic, I'm interested to see what it'll get towing the ATV on an open trailer.

 

[deviantlx]

wheres the pics?

 

[nos4blood70]

Obviously not the fastest car, but with a stick it should still be very fun to throw around, diesel or not. I'd rock one as a daily so hard. Definitely more fun than the boat I drive!

:likes: dat manual car and dat new tdi motor = winning

 

[nytebyte]

Impressive considering the tonnage you were hauling.

Now take the money you saved on gas and buy yourself a radar detector!!

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

[RICH17]

These have urea Frank?

 

[SirMarco]

I knew I should have done the sportwagon instead of the Patriot

 

[GLIGTO]

I haven't gotten a fucking ticket in years... In the month I've owned this car I've gotten two. Both were kind of shitty as far as the situation, but, I was still speeding so I won't complain. I do 10 over in my truck EVERYWHERE and nobody gives a fuck, get a gay little clown shoe and I'm fucked.

These have urea Frank?

Yeah, unfortunately.

I wish I could've gotten the sportwagen, but they wouldn't be out for a few months in the TDi

That's pure win right there. Fuck yea VW

Friggin love it.



Here's pics for anyone that missed it.

Another plus of a small car is having garage space... My truck had an inch of clearance from the tool box to the door when closed. There's a foot between the front of the VW and the ATV with my box and at least eight inches in back. Also narrow enough for the bike to sit beside it.

 

[SirMarco]

Also 4x4 > FWD

 

[EmersonHart13]

I'm glad I missed the Urea, but there are other things that help even that out so it isn't all bad.

 

[RICH17]

Keep track of your DEF usage to your miles. I am interested in the outcome. Please

Looks like the burb needs a white paint job.
