Message	Got a 2010 TDI Golf to replace a 2000 Ford Focus which blew a motor at 78k. Boy, was I pissed at that Focus (although I really liked the car before it blew up). The TDI's are, essentially, impossible to get. I had to go on line and pick up the only one available east of the Mississippi in Queens, NYC at the end of March, 2010. Got 44.9 MPH driving from Queens to D.C. with 3 hrs on the Cross-Bronx "expressway". I am getting 39.7 MPH commuting in heavy traffic from N.VA to D.C. Really like the TDI.
