Re: Does a rear-facing baby seat fit in the 2011 VW Golf? [m_fitz]
Good question. I may be able to answer it very shortly. We have a one year old daughter who has to be in the biggest, rear-facing carseat known to man (Britax Boulevard). It actually doesn't fit rear-facing in our BMW X3. We've been looking to replace the X3 with a Golf so I may take the seat with me if we go to the dealership this weekend. If so, I'll let ...

Does a rear-facing baby seat fit in the 2011 VW Golf?
I have no kids, but it's possible starting a family will be in my future in the next year or two. I really like the Golf. I just test drove the TDI and it's such a pleasant ride! Anyway, am I kidding myself that this could be a family car? Does a backwards facing infant seat fit in this car? If it does, does it mean my knees will be hitting ... Read More

2011 2-door Golf TDI
Just got my VW Golf and I'm loving it. I think I got a good deal, but I was curious what others are paying in other places. For $24,500, I was able to get the 2-door, manual golf with Xenon headlights, Dynaudio and sunroof from a dealership in Houston. Is that about average? Wasn't sure how fuel prices have impacted the sticker prices lately.

Re: 2011 Golf TDI-payback? [ruking1]
Agreed that an idle shut-off would help mpg in NYC! Is that feature on the 2011 TDIs? You asked "if Prius's were so good, why did it take the NYC taxi community app 10 years to start to implement the brand as Taxi's?" Answer: the sluggishness of bureaucracy combined with our general resistance to the new. All things considered, I'm impressed that the city under Bloomberg started pushing for hybrid taxis ...

Re: 2011 Golf TDI-payback? [chidrive]
I purchased a 2010 4dr manual Golf TDI last April. You need to consider this: The extra price for the TDI is NOT simply for the TDI engine. The TDI has much nicer appointments (alloy wheels, larger tires, sporty suspension, better seats, etc.) as well. And when you consider the price of fuel, also realize that the price has been going up for both gas and diesel. My girlfriend has a ... Read More

2011 Golf TDI-payback?
I am considering purchasing a VW Golf TDI, enjoyed the ride and I'm swayed by enviro. concerns. However, the higher price for diesel engines at purchase and the pump price (diesel is about $4/gal in Chicago) makes me want to back away. I keep my cars 8+ years and diesel seems like the best choice for the long run. I average 12,000 city miles/year. I didn't see the Golf TDI on ... Read More

Lease Rates on 2011 Golf 4dr Automatic with Sunroof
Car_man, I'm interested in leasing a 2011 Golf 4dr Automatic with Sunroof. Could you please let me know the current money factor and residual for a 36 month lease with 10k miles per year? Also, do you know whether Volkswagen dealers can use the manufacturer-to-dealer incentive available through 3/31 on leases? Thanks!

Feb Rates on the Golf TDI
Car Man, Do you have the February lease rates for the 2011 Golf TDi? Also, do you know if VW has guidelines or a limit on how much the dealer can mark up the MF? I'm remotely helping a friend in California negotiate his car and the quote he has looks to have the interest rate marked up by 2.5% versus the previously posted January rate. Thanks for your help.

Lease special on Golf
I plan to lease a Golf or Jetta with my college age daughter (hopefully this weekend). Currently, VW advertises lease specials for both. For a 2011 Golf 2 dr, 36 month, 36K mile lease they advertise a monthly payment, but don't tell you what the interest rate is: http://web.vw.com/templates/Service?serviceName=vwoffers_golf Does anyone know what the actual money factor or interest rate is for this lease? Is there still a $1000 incentive to ... Read More

Re: Just took delivery of the car [vchiu]
Interesting review. It's a looker for sure. VW does do muting of NVH on their diesels (and gas jobs FTM) well. I am not a fan of all the red dash lighting, especially when the symbols are as small as they are in VW. This is something that a young person with young eyes won't understand until they age. I would like to be able to turn the light intensity down ... Read More

Re: Considering purchase of 2011 Golf 2.5 [7383]
I could not comment much on the 2.5 engine, but I would recommand the 2.0 TFSI which gets much better mileage and low-end torque. While smooth-running, the 2.5 is not known for good fuel efficiency. It has been dropped from the catalog in many European countries (in France at least) Regarding reliablility, VW gas engines are pretty much without trouble. Our company had several Passats and we have yet to see ... Read More

Considering purchase of 2011 Golf 2.5
Am close to purchase of 2011 Golf 2.5 6A 4dr with sunroof and bluetooth. This would replace 2004 Acura TSX which has served well. Vehicle is used for daily commute of 80 miles of twisty mountain roads. Test drives of Golf suggest that (with standard tires/wheels) it is much smoother and quieter than the TSX, and that the handling, while not as sharp, is very acceptable. We have driven and considered ... Read More

Re: 2011 2.5s [bpeebles]
My point was that diesels make the best sense when you drive lots of miles, because the lower fuel cost per mile adds up faster. If you only drive 10k or even 15k miles a year, then the cost of fuel is a fairly insignificant part of your total cost of ownership. And, it doesn't matter so much that a diesel-powered car like a VW Golf TDI can last for 500k ... Read More

Re: 2010 Golf [bpeebles]
No mistake, I did not say the 1996 was the oldest use. Just that I happen to be aware of it's use in the '96. When my kid first told me they were bringing back the 2.0, I thought certain he was mistaken and they were going to be offering a new updated 2.0, perhaps incorporating new fangled ideas 16 valves (to improve HP). It is a non-competitive piece of ancient ... Read More

2011 Golfs are on their way
A salesman I know at a VW dealership has two 2011 Golf TDIs en route, one at the port and the other still on the boat. So no more 2010s. And even if you find one, I'm not sure they are discounting.

2011 VW Golf
Not too many changes for the Golf for 2011. The real changes are mainly in the electronics. A new Bluetooth kit is coming out that is fully integrated within the MFD display and can do A2DP. It's not a Skoda unit with A2DP. It's made by a different vendor and can integrate within the RNS-510, with Skoda like menus. It's standard on all TDI's but optional on the 2.5. The Nav ... Read More

Re: Price for 2010 Jetta DSG TDI [gagrice]
Yep, the new Jetta Sportwagen/Golf is lovely and of the perfect size. Without any explanation, on 05/28/10 VW announced that 2011 Jetta TDI production will be delayed until January 2011. I wonder what's going on? They said the same TDI engine will be carried over, so no major engine change is in the works. Speculation is that perhaps VW is addressing random (and VERY expensive) high pressure fuel pump failures in ... Read More

Re: rehashing reliability is old-hat [gagrice]
There's a fix for the 2010 Prius brake software, so don't let that stop you from a test drive. I am not going to test drive a car that I have little chance of buying. I don't have the time, and I don't want to waste time of the VW salesperson. If my local dealer ever offered an open house to test drive the new Golf, I might take advantage of ... Read More

Golf/Prius restraining ratio, maybe 100:1 ?
technically you have a great point backy ! The sample size of usa golf tdis is necessarily small so far. Let's hope there will be lots more for 2011 model year.

There are praises and pauses from the owners of the new VW Sport wagons on the practicality of those huge glass roof pannels, they turn the interior ... Read More

Beware Re: Bought a (new) '09 Jetta TDI [longo2]
If I were in the market for a TDI type of new vehicle I would wait until the 2011's come out next fall. The next Gen. Jetta is supposed to be a little bigger all around, and will be a total re-do. If you are referring to the new VW to be made in Chattanooga, there are many reasons to plan for the worst and hope for the best. 1. The ... Read More

Re: C4C's impact on diesel sales [backy]
I think you are trying to play verbal games which is fine. But I don't see any data that says Toyota will build anything in their Tupelo plant in 2011. All I see is it is on hold. June 10, 2009 Toyota broke ground on the $1.3 billion Tupelo plant in 2006 to produce Highlander crossovers. Last summer the automaker delayed the project and then later changed plans to produce the ... Read More

Re: Anyone know what the dealer incetives are for July? [longo2]
GearHead Gossip has tracked some info that the Jetta TDI is going to get a full, frame up overhaul for 2011. If you can wait, I'd wait.

When does the next-generation Polo come out, and will it come to the United States? It was at the Geneva auto show in March. We haven't decided whether to bring this vehicle into the United States.

We have alternatives, and these could be a Polo ... Read More
