Oh I loved my golf , I don't like the new 2015 golf and it's made in Mexico not Germany like the other golf's and Rabbit .
What Made you Decide to get a Cruze Diesel over a Jetta TDI?
So, there may already be threads on this, but I'm bored and felt like having a conversation as to why people decided to go with a Cruze diesel. Here are my reasons:
The fully optioned out Cruze was cheaper than the fully optioned out Jetta, felt more solid, has a better fuel economy rating, has more power, and is more enjoyable to drive. If I had a family that I had to drag around and often had people in the back seat, I would've probably taken the Jetta for it's superior leg room in the back, but to me it is irrelevant. I also trust the Cruze more for reliability than I do the Jetta. I often think to myself if I'd be happy if I had gotten a Jetta, and normally I start to think, "well I like how it looked more, and wow was it spacious in the back, and there is something that sounds better about owning a German car" but then all I have to think about is how it felt like all power was lost past 3800 rpm in the one I test drove, and I'm reminded of why I like the Cruze so much more. Honestly if the Jetta had more power, I may have gone with it, but the way it faded out on the top end, I felt was an instant dissapointment.
So why did you guys go with a Cruze diesel instead of a Jetta TDI?

Get another CruzeOh I loved my golf , I don't like the new 2015 golf and it's made in Mexico not Germany like the other golf's and Rabbit .
I am picking up my new cruze diesel tomorrow . Funny thing its the same car I had before with all the options on it lol . Hope this time around this is a good one.
Good Luck this time around.
I hope so, I have been on and off reading on others with some of the issues I had as well. For the most part, most on here have had really good luck with the diesel cruze.
I test drove a gas 1.4 and just felt it was not the kick in the paints like the diesel are even with a tune on it. A stock VW GTI is more fun to drive then a tuned 1.4 just what I saw and felt driving them .
