$1300 US Tax Credit for Jetti TDI

Volkswagen asked third-party certifier, AMCI, to take a look at their Jetta TDI and the results are in. EPA ratings for gas mileage were 24% lower than real-world economy. AMCI gave the Jetta TDI a rating of 38 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway.

You would think those results, paired with advanced safety features and Volkswagen’s Carefree Maintenance Program (which keeps scheduled maintenance free throughout the New Vehicle Limited Warranty) you couldn’t do much better … but the US government has stepped in and granted taxpayers a federal tax credit for buying either the sedan or SportsWagen models.

The Jetta TDI will hit lots this fall.
