"it’s still a bit big for typical city life" and it weighs 2,545 kg. This has to be GVW.
Still a massive machine to be considered for urban use but for all of its bulk the mileage is amazingly good.
Also, when do we get a review of the Jetta Hybrid? Saw the first ad last night. Priced right on the standard Prius with a similar sized battery. The Jetta has much more power and torque though from its 1.4L TD. No hatch of course and it would be interesting to see how the VW hybrid system works. If it is as slick as the Prius, then its quite a package.
Cheers,
