2009 Green Car of the Year!

For the first time since the 2006 model year, VW is back with the 50-state Clean Diesel Jetta TDI, EPA rated at 30 city and 41 highway.  VW quotes slightly higher numbers and independent reviewers have seen 50s and even 60s on the highway.

We test drove this car at Heart Volkswagen in Kingston, NY and liked it so much that its now our flagship ride for MidHudsonGreen.com.  We even kept the flame job of blowing green leaves!

Now we look forward to learning just how high our mileage can be with this new-generation clean diesel.
