sorry, haven't been here for a while....
Diesel on the Turnpike is subsidized by the tolls to keep the truckers happy. So its the cheapest around....
I actually fit (at 6'8"/340lbs) BETTER in a Jetta/Golf than a Passat.
They are also far from sluggish (on par with VW's 2.0 off the line. Once moving, its like a 1.8T. Seriously).
And there is no smell. FWIW, any diesel that smokes or stinks is fairly out of tune.
As far as cost, the new Passat TDI sells for almost 28K - 8K more than a Jetta.
(BTW - if it were me, I'd really get a Golf)
