When I got the civic it needed a motor mount, timing belt, alignment, and two new tires, so I guess it was closer to $2500, but it runs like a champ now. I think mileage on a TDI is closer to 46 or so. Do the math on a $9000 jetta vs a let's say $4000 civic that is about the same. 16 mpg Difference, how long would it take to make up that 5 grand. Funk that, they are both homogay cars, pimp the civic.
