 We went looking for a mid-sized car 
with better gas mileage than our SUV 
(we had 2 4x4's in the driveway).  
Of all the competitors
(according to an Edmund's search), the 
VW TDi was a surprising option.  
The turbo diesel in this little 4 
cylinder is very surprising.  Though 
not a sport car, the performance is 
good enough to give the feel and 
handling of a sport model while still 
providing a lot of room for a family 
and the mileage usually limited to a 
hybrid. 
Very good buy as well!
