[Macroni]

Man, this is not my experience w/ my TDI sportswagen; 75,000 miles: 1 set of tires, 1 set of back brakes, two front day light driving bulbs, oil changes every 10,000 miles......

The car is a blast to drive it pulls freely up to 100MPH and can run at 90 comfortably all day and still delivers 30MPG. The DSG transmission is hands down the best automatic I have ever driven, it anticipates and in sport mode is uterly responsive. I am signed up for a track day at the end of the month and if my 911 is unavailable I would have no problem with driving my TDI!

Negatives; the 17" rims are fragile and I am not enthralled with servicing the car at the dealer so I don't.

My opinion is they are a great company poised for a very bright future......
