Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car
videos.Performance tuners are drawn to
platforms that capably support increased
engine power and that also accept
complementary upgrades to such other elements
as brakes and suspension. Volkswagens
platforms have fulfilled those needs for
generations, but never have the worlds of the
showroom stock vehicle and the highly
modified aftermarket special been as close as
they are now. Personalizing a Volkswagen
begins as early as the first visit to the
dealer, as demonstrated by the 2006 Jetta
2.0T and 2006 Passat 2.0T on display. Each
was modified inside and out using Genuine
Volkswagen Accessories and shows how the
enthusiast, at the time of purchase, can
order an even more appealing platform for
subsequent upgrades.

These days there are a lot of small cars
pounding their chests and claiming they get
the best gas mileage around. Well, we got
tired of the talk and decided to settle the
score. Right here, right now!
We picked three cars from our long-term fleet
known for squeezing extra miles out of every
gallon of gas: the spunky 2008 Smart Fortwo
with a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine, the
thrifty 2008 Ford Focus SES coupe with a
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a 2005
Volkswagen Jetta TDI, with its legendary
1.9-liter "TDI" diesel engine. Then we added
a heavily favored gasoline-electric hybrid to
the mix: a 2008 Toyota Prius.

For those alternative-fuel-conscious,
carbon-conscientious driving enthusiasts
among us, the big news from Volkswagen is
electric, mainly because it has introduced a
car that isn't.
The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Clean Diesel
(yep, that's its official name) is the first
diesel-powered new car to be certified for
sale across the entire U.S. — including
California and the four states that piggyback
their emissions regulations on the Golden
State since they all turned up their
tailpipe-sniffing noses at everyone else in
2006.
So it was probably no mere coincidence that
Volkswagen chose Santa Monica, California, as
the site for the introduction of the 2009
Volkswagen Jetta TDI. And as we later tested
the Jetta TDI near our Santa Monica office by
driving the Pacific Coast Highway and the
canyon roads of Malibu, we were happy to
flaunt this turbodiesel's new clean-and-green
status in the backyard of so many
Prius-driving members of the celebrity set.
