Economy diesel sedan or wagon

Posted

We've got a 2006 megacab and also the second gen cummins. Things have changed in our family. Becoming more less empty nesters after 6 kids. Down to 1.5 and they drive themselves now. We are looking to sell the magacab and get a high mileage diesel sedan or wagon. My first choice would be a wagon. We are pretty big people too,so roominess is a plus. We would also like to spend no more than the money we can get for the megacab ($22,000?). Is there a year and model of diesel rig that you guys can recommend? I'm thinking VW. Don't know of any other options.

If you look for a VW, Definately look for a Passat, it has way more room in the cabin than a Jetta, I too am a big guy and my wife has the car in my sig and I have been in Passats and there is no comparison.Also do not rule out any older Mercedes diesel cars if you can find one. You won't have the high mileage as a VW but you will have more power and torque.

    My wife went from the Jetta to the Taureg. She love it.

    What year and what motor in her Taureg? What sort of fuel mileage? I'm considering moving from my Passat to a TDI Taureg.

    2008 6 cylinder. I'm not sure about the mileage. It isn't great. The tdi is the way to go.

    Seems like the new ones are rated for about 32 mpg.
