- We take the turbo-diesel VW Beetle TDI out for our first drive to see if it's every bit as fun as the gasoline engined models. Does the high mpg version of the Beetle make you compromise?

Great video ..thank you 👍☘️
My wife drives a 2013 with the dsg. I look for excuses to drive it.
Nice segment! I've long been a fan of the Beetle, and I always thought that if I bought one, I would go with the TDI for the improved mileage. Now that VW is building them with the 1.8L turbo, I think I would opt for that engine instead. I like the idea of the TDI . . . just would have to come down to a test drive, and to see how reliable one may be over the other.
do you still have to pull the whole front end off to change the alternator?
"CLEAN"
+Ali “macarazy” Günes I knew his comment would be here somewhere
I hear Diesel engine at least the new ones are harder to care for with expensive oil changes?
They’re harder and more expensive because they were caught in a scandal and there’s nothing “clean” about it
😍😍
Diesel fuel cost more than premium fuel in the USA, so unless diesel gets cheaper, I don't see any reason to buy a diesel car in the USA. This power plant only makes sense for heavy duty hauling in trucks.
hawkermustang I don't know, my diesel has been like .40 cheaper than gasoline for quite a while now.
Even though that's true, but don't forget a diesel engine is more fuel efficient so you will pretty much fill the tank less often than a car with a regular gasoline enigine
I like diesels best in trucks for towing things. With this VW diesel scandal. The tree huggers in the USA really hate diesel now.
+hawkermustang that's true. VW really screwed themselves up by doing that.
Although diesel is more expensive.... but I’ve only filled my tank up twice and I’ve had it for almost 5 weeks with still half a tank. I feel like I’m winning lol
Clearly this car does not have an air cooled flat four, nor does it have a rear engine, rear drive setup, so how is this a beetle and not just a more expensive version of the golf with an inferior interior layout?
Well I tell you what, Pilgrim!
Is this one of the "clean diesel" engines that VW got in trouble for cheating?
YES
they paid me $8000.00 and I kept the car....70,000 just extended the warranty....43 mpg
