Volkswagen is ever expanding their TDI offerings for 2010 to include redesigned Golf. Yes, we are losing the Rabbit nameplate once again, but the new Golf will be more than welcome with its fresher look and new list of features.
The big news for diesel fans is the addition of the 2.0 liter clean diesel engine that debuted last year in the 2009 Jetta. The 140 turbo-diesel four will be available with both a 6-speed manual as well as a 6-speed DSG transmission. Both gearboxes will provide a 0-60 acceleration time 8.6 seconds. That is not at all slow, and with the choice of transmissions promises to be fun too. Best of all, like the Jetta the Golf TDI will be also 50 state legal.
Standard features to the TDI model will include a premium touch-screen stereo system with 6 CD in-dash changer, satelite radio, and a handsome three-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel. Other interior goodies abound like leather shift knob and E-brake handle, essentially giving you many of the interior upgrades found in the sporty GTI model.
