Today, we welcome the first diesel to ever enter egmCarTech’s garage for a full week-long test drive – the 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI.<\/p>\n
First Impressions<\/strong>: We are very impressed. We recently asked you guys whether or not you would consider a diesel powered vehicle over gasoline<\/a> – with most of you leaning towards diesel (which was a bit surprising to us). There are some obvious benefits to buying a diesel powered car over a gasoline powered car including a boost\u00a0in fuel-economy, a boost in torque and the final price differential over gasoline models is generally much smaller than that for hybrids vehicles.<\/p>\n The starting MSRP on our 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI comes in at $21,990. With the addition of a $1,750 touchscreen navigation, $1,000 power sunroof, $225 Cold Weather Package and $199 for the Bluetooth connectivity, our test VW Golf TDI carries a final price tag of $25,914.<\/p>\n Power comes from a\u00a02.0L inline 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine making 140-hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Standard with a 6-speed manual, the Volkswagen Golf TDI goes from rest to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds while averaging an EPA estimated fuel-economy of 30\/41 mpg (city\/highway). Buyers can also opt for the optional 6-speed automatic DSG gearbox but we wouldn’t recommend it if you have an enthusiast driving style. Having a little fun, we are driving our 6-speed manual Golf TDI a little faster than usual and are still averaging 33 mpg.<\/p>\n As always (more often than not), we’ll be providing you with daily updates during our week-long drive – so make sure you ask us all the questions you want answered about the 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI in the comments section below.<\/p>\n 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI (Weekly Test-Drive)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n – By: Omar Rana <\/em><\/p>\n All Photos Copyright \u00a9 2009 Omar Rana \u2013 egmCarTech<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n Today, we welcome the first diesel to ever enter egmCarTech’s garage for a full week-long test drive – the 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI.
