I am actually glad that you brought up this very important information. How about the resale value?<BR/><BR/>The diesel powered Jetta will have better resale value. So, one may pay more now for the diesel engine, but when you're ready to sell the Jetta TDI it will be worth more than a gas powered model of the same year and the same amount of miles. Something to think about.

The diesel Jetta is going to be considerably more expensive than the Corolla, probably $4-6k, and that buys a LOT of gas.<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't know where you're getting 55 mpg average for the Jetta. The EPA rates it 30 City/41 Highway/34 Combined, and those tend to be optimistic.<BR/><BR/>Finally, you may want to double-check your tank sizes. I know the Corolla has a 13.2 gallon tank, not 15, and I'm still trying to track down an official size for the JettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
