Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup Edition 2010 Review – Within the particular 21st century – and as well , throughout Europe to typically the last various many years – the particular current diesel is certainly also , a anchor. Almost half of most brand-new vehicles sold across the particular pond swill ultra-low sulfur diesel, and moreover right after times of being hamstrung simply by California bureaucrats as well as the actual Feds, the particular high-mileage misers come with finally returned in order to our shores. Volkswagen obviously thinks of the fact that truly , a diesel really can certainly end up being sporty, and furthermore , just after fielding “numerous inquiries” about providing that a replica of its TDI Cup vehicles in order for the particular street, V-Dub comes armed with begun providing truly , a kitted-out model of its diesel-powered Jetta for the actual portion (of for a portion) of lovers who else prefer for a a bit more interesting means in order for burn through for a tank of ULSD.
The actual 140 horsepower presented up simply by the particular 2.0-liter turbodiesel won’t set typically the world (or even a tires) on the fire, but the particular 236 pound-feet of torque may make easy work of the particular six-speed DSG’s ratios, catapulting you actually in order for highway rates of speed that comes with an assured quickness. Each successive gear is truly dispatched along with the particular slightest (and furthermore , we really signify slightest) pause, more proof that will while ye ol’ torque converter is actually alive and in addition well within typically the completely new century, typically the dual-clutch gearbox keeps in order to end up being for a current masterpiece. The actual steering is really sublime. Typically the weighting is simply close to best, corrections are uncommon and in addition the particular really feel is really incredibly direct, if not supremely communicative.
The actual remainder of the particular model’s modifications are pulled originally from the particular VW operation parts bin and as well , feature the particular swing bars and in addition stiffened suspension originally from the particular last Jetta GLI. Typically the red-painted calipers are of course carryovers, and furthermore , they hold bigger brakes (12.28-inches further up front and as well , 11.26-inches within the particular back), framed simply by 18-inch, 10-spoke “Charleston” wheels. The actual hoops are right off the actual present auto, but unfortunately the actual Yokohama 225/40R18 ADVAN sport tires surely have been swapped within like of “all-season high-performance” Pirelli P Zero Nero’s sized 225/40R18. They’re mud and furthermore snow rated, available for whatever that’s well worth.
