2001 Tdi Volkswagen New Beetle Gls 1.9l Diesel - Great Mileage Vw on 2040-cars
Washington, District Of Columbia, United States
|
This diesel bug has been mine for 7 years, and it's a joy to drive. You can see on the original window sticker the EPA mileage: 42 MPG in the city, and 49 MPG on the highway. It runs nicely in the city, and the manual transmission combined with diesel torque makes it loads of fun on mountain roads.
It's also an amazing hauler: fold the rear seat down and you get a cargo bed through the rear 2/3 of the car. Some of the interior shows its age: the end of the parking brake release button has come off, the gearshift skirt leather has some worn spots, and the armrest lid hinge needs repair. It also has the common early 2000s New Beetle issues on the interior of the doors: the rubber finish is worn in places and the leather glue isn't holding like it used to. On the outside, the most notable issue is the lower grille: it is the same height as parking space bumpers and the plastic is cracked. The fog lights work fine, however. The side running boards also have dents from curbs. The car runs great--A/C is working fine, the transmission shifts nicely, and--probably the reason you're looking at this in the first place--the TDI engine gives plenty of power and fuel economy. DC inspection is good until December 2018. This would be a great car for a long-distance commuter, diesel VW enthusiast, or anyone who likes the idea of getting 49 MPG on the highway. I'm sad to let it go--I bought a truck because my hauling needs are bigger than my distance driving needs. This is a no reserve auction. I know people travel to get their TDI (I drove to Tennessee to get this one!), so I can meet you at National, Dulles, or BWI airports or Union Station if you're coming from out of town. |

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
