The Jetta is a very average car however over here getting a TDI is kind 
of rare, and a TDI Passat is non-existent.  For some reason over here 
many people still can not get the image of the old noisy smelly diesel 
cars out of their heads.  My point of having it on the list is that 
engineers have a tendency to drive higher end and very piratical safe cars.
