I was wondering if any of y'all have a diesel VW or 300C. I've been thinking about what car to get my wife when I get back to the world. Right now, I'm kinda torn between a loaded 300C or a TDI Passat. I'm not buying new, and I'm basing my thoughts on their current used values. I know that the Hemi has MDS in all 300Cs, but I was thinking of the longevity of the VW. Plus, the VW knocks out a lot more MPG than the 300C, which helps offset the cost of fuel. I knew a few guys back in Dallas that had TDI Jettas, and they were very happy with them. The Passat is a little bigger, so that's why I'm eyeballing it. I've sat in a 300C, and I fit great (6' 6"). Plus, I'm a Mopar guy, but I have to admit the Germans can build some damn good cars. I guess both cars are German if you think about it. What do y'all think? Is the Passat in the same league as a loaded 300C, or am I way off-track? :wondering
