Jetta vs. Jetta TDI

[keggo]

It's nice having our own section, but as others have said... there are already so many in the gas Jetta section, you may as well merge them.

I've just made a section for Passat TDI and I think we should keep them separated from gassers since there is a big difference in fuel used and fuel mileage. It comes in handy when I want to compare my mileage with another cars with the same engine.

Results can be filtered by engine type, so there's really no need to make separate categories.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, we appreciate all of the opinions. I'm going to go ahead and roll the "Jetta TDI" into the "Jetta" model on Monday, and make sure that the diesel engine option is set on all of the existing Jetta TDIs.

We won't approve further splits of "x TDI" from other models, and we'll point folks to the engine filtering feature to view diesels on their own. We could always reconsider this down the road if any one model gets too large to manage on its own, but I don't think we're at that point with Jettas yet.

Thanks again for the thoughtful discussion.

have you ever seen a model climb the ranks as fast as the jetta tdi did? three months ago we were not in the top ten, and this week before the merger we had climbed to top 4. amazing what awareness on a great sight like the TDI Club will do!

True coolbreeze, that was impressive. I didn't realize where all of the Jetta TDI owners were coming from. But yeah, both Jetta models were in the top 10, and now after the merger Jetta is #2.

I think a lot of TDI-ers come from TDI club forums. I got your link from there too. BTY thanks for doing such a great job with this site.
