Retired the TDI in favor of a new cruze diesel!

Just picked her up tonight! 59 miles on the ticker, will have pics tomorrow but I have to say, I have no idea why I ever owned a TDI after driving the diesel cruze.

I'm working on it! Had to come aaaaaaaalllllllllll the way down to Brigham city to pick her up, we're in Ogden eating dinner with my cousin now. The only other cruze diesel we liked was in Orem but that was too far to go in order to do our financing before our bank closed. Super nice, super comfortable car. We love it more than any of the TDI's we drove.

Seems like a small time dealer to me, we just bought brand new instead of messing with used cars. We'll run the warranty out on this one and trade it in for another new one, Fawk it. Lol. Anyway, here's some pitchers 😁

That's how they get good mileage, the opposing thrust from the fan blade rims cause the car to have less rolling resistance and it also takes care of other idiot drivers that try to get close.

This is just me personally, but I find the cruze more appealing to the eyes lol. But not just that, at 6'2" I feel like the cruze has more legroom and the seats fit me better, the interior comfort for ME is better than anything VW has to offer.

this didn't matter so much to me, but the warranty is far better, 5 years/100,000 miles vs 3 years/36,000 miles, and GM dealers are more accessible to me than VW dealers, there's a lot more little things that I can't think of off the top of my head.
