Even I would have to vote for the Jetta.

i know there are diesels here... i was more referring to the fact that damn near every manufacturer (Honda, Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Mini, Ford, etc) makes and sells diesel powered compact and mid-sized cars all over the world but wont bring them here (mostly due to our emissions laws being a pain in the dick and the piss injection systems we require being expensive)
i currently have a VW Golf TDi... its great and i love it... when it comes time to replace it, it will most likely be replaced with a newer Golf TDi... or if i need more space possibly with a A3 wagon TDi
the Jettas are ok, the sport wagon is FAR nicer than the sedan, it feels tighter/lighter and drives better, but the Passat drives better than either of the Jettas... i was driving dealer swaps for a while for a VW dealer for the last few years so ive got a few thousand miles of test driving in pretty much everything they have other than the R32
the BMWs are nice but not nice enough to give up 10-15mpg+
Benz has never done anything for me... im just not a fan of their styling overall
Chevy Cruze... LMFAO... just no
Jeep, Ram, Chevy/GMC, Ford, etc... i have no use for a truck
It's nice but it just looks like the 2012ish era A3 Sportback that got squished
Not a lot you can do about the similarities within a car model. People think, "hey, i want an A3 only smaller with better MPG". so audi makes one smaller with better mpg..
The BMW 328D gives up 10-15 MPG to a Golf TDI? WTF kind of MPG are you getting lol. 50?
actually yes... i have gotten a new TDi Golf to average 50mpg on a mixed highway/back road drive from New Milford to Greenwich... these are brand new not yet broken in cars so the mpg should only get better... but pretty much every one of them averaged 45 or better... i have seen a few customer cars that were showing avg mpg readings in the 52-54 range but i dont know how they drive
since 6/2013 my mk4 Golf TDi's average is 43.5mpg with a short commute over federal hill (in the summer i am generally averaging 45+ in the winter that average drops to 40ish)... on tanks where i do a lot of longer distance drives or on longer trips i am usually up around 50mpg avg
i will agree that i may be underestimating the BMW though, i have not yet spent enough time with one to get a full idea of what it can do
That mileage isn't unheard of. Here is 84.1 mpg.

Not the 335D. lolI think you are under estimating the BMW Diesel.
