Honda Civic Hybrid or VW Jetta TDI: Which Would You Choose?

You guys behave like a bunch of girls on heat, Both technologies are good, whichever you embrase it’s all good. At this point it’s only a matter of choice, no one’s gonna put a gun to your head force you to buy what you don’t want. however if you’re a real passionate driver you’ll choose the Jetta, my look femenine from the outside but once behind the wheel you’ll think you’re special even do your not. I’m talking to you fat boy. That said you driving the hybrid may want to consider a nice mini skirt and maybe an old lady’s hat (driving miss daisy).

CIVIC IS THE BEST! JETTY SUCKS TO DA CORE!

I have a tdi and am buying a 2009 hybrid/// will let all know the better choice

VW. no questions. I just filled up 15.5 gal for 992 miles. cant beat it. hands down. Even with Diesel at 4+ dollars it makes more sense.

Has anyone seen deieel prices? No one’s saving money in the diesel market anymore.. why they’re still pushing it is beyond me..

Gasoline= $3.20 per gallon. Civic gets 50 mpg.
Diesel= $4.00 per gallon. Tdi gets 45 mpg.

Do the math.

Also, gasoline is cleaner than diesel.

However,
I own the Civic Hybrid and I love it, but I will be trading it in in a few years to avoid the high maintenance costs after my warranty is up. The TDI uses a much more reliable and efficient technology.

My point is, if you intend to buy a new car every 4 or 5 years, go hybrid….if you want something for longer than that, go TDI all the way.

P.S.

The prius is so gay. I love passing them in my Civic Hybrid. Oh, and I can’t wait for the Honda CR-Z.

Definitely the Jetta. I own a 2002 TDI and get 55 mpg on the road, 50 overall average (750 miles+ between fill-ups). And the power/torque!!! My TDI will pull any hill faster than my Jeep (4.0L 178hp)! Plus it can run on biodiesel. And lastly, none of the problems that the prior generation of diesels had… no smoke, no smell, starts instantly in cold weather.

Since American muscle isn’t a option, I’d have to pick the Civic…

THE CIVIL LOOKS BETTER?????????? ARE YOU SERIOUS?????

DEFINETLY JETTA TDI. MORE TORQUE, MORE RELIABLE, SERVICING IS CHEAPER THAN A HYBRID. WITH A HYBRID THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AFTER COUPLE OF YEARS. I HAVE A DIESEL JETTA WITH 735,000 MILES WITH ORIGINAL ENGINE AND TRANSMITION. ITS A VW NEED I SAY MORE

Both of the cars look gay. The civic is 100000x better if it’s a coupe.

I wouldn’t pick either one

da civic 4 sure u will get fucked trying to find diesel fuel plus diesel stinks

I own a Civic, I’d buy the TDI. Not dought in my mind. You really can’t compare the 2..

I think that I would definatly go with the diesel. I have a 2006 new Jetta Diesel and it smells but who the fuck puts their face up to the exhaust. PLUS! the new Deisel is CRD which is improved in many many ways. Read the article if you dont believe me. Hybrids Are CRAP! Diesel is better. Dont think like the 50 year old people do. Diesel has improved. And if its still too slow……Look at the BMW diesel or Benz or Chip the Jetta and get better performance.

I’m sure you think your farts smell like roses then, because Diesel SMELLS HORRIBLE!

People will often say that the diesel car is dirty and the exhaust gives off pungent odors. The technology has much improved to eliminate this. I’d go with the VW.

Diesel smells horrible! Honda’s are for chicks. Nuff said

V-Dub for sure..only thing is diesel is more of a pain to find places that sell it

the vw all the way!!!

gotta agree with rabbit on this one!!

Oleg Muravin way to post 3 times bud
VW for sure

civic

Civics are gay, TDI all the way!

VW, with good power and a warrenty.

Scrubbing bubble or expensive to maintain German engineering. At my current budget, neither. If I had a decent paycheck VW all the way.

VW Jetta TDI

The civic but not hybric! I have a 07 civic sedan with manual transmision and 147 Hp! the car is excelent!

vw,for sure.

Those Hybrid sh*t are not worth it if you mostly drive on the highway because once you get above a certain speed, the car runs only on the gas making the mpg just as much as any economy car. The VW is a pain because you can’t go to a local maintainance shop for simple maintainance like changing the transmition oil. My choice is neither.

“Franck from Kansas City” forgot the most important reason….The VW looks better

For Safety (thickness of the steel, laser welding, ESP, first car to ace side impact collision IIHS.com): VW
For Resale Value (KBB.com top resale value brand #1; w/ Jetta in top 10 along with Rabbit and EOS): VW
For Overall Gas Mileage (50+mpg hwy): VW
For Torque (140 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque): VW
For Dependability (that’s personal – driven 12 in the last 20 years loved everyone of them, lived in France for 17 yrs. These cars are solid): VW
For Price (just because two cars have the same sticker price does not mean you get the same features/equipment standard): VW
The decision is an easy one. You should be able to order a TDI this late spring/summer and take delivery late fall, maybe sooner. Happy clean driving!

wow… is that really a question. An amazingly built german diesel vs a econobox pos jap hybrid. I think that you can guess what i picked

Come on guys… Volkswagen and enthusiasts actually stand by and race their diesels. Have you ever seen someone race a Hybrid Civic?

This is actually an easy one folks! Diesel technology has been around for well over 100 years, while there is speculation that the hybrid battery packs may be VERY costly when they go out. I’ve test driven the VW diesels. They are great! Fantastic torque, great gas mileage, really fun to drive. I’d take the VW diesel ANYDAY over the Honda. And w/ the new clean diesel technology, the decision becomes even easier! I’m saving up for one now.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI for sure. The new Civic sedans just don’t do it for me.

budget wise Civic no question but if I had some cash i’d go V dub

DIESEL!!!!!

pshhhh are u serious???
is this a serious question??
vw jetta over a civic??
mannnnnnnnn VW will shit on civic!!!!

If you A. want to stay a Virgin, or B. never have sex again, buy one of these. I don’t see any panties dropping rolling up in a hybrid. They both look like 08 Geo metro’s.

I won’t own anything other than a VW Jetta TDI. My wife and I each have our own. Love the cars.

jetta no question

Civic. Probably will never drive anything else.

I’ll take the Jetta or “Jedi” as some friends and I nicknamed it. Hybrids are over rated. The only thing I think is cool about the Honda is it has what appears to be the farthest raked windshield I’ve seen on any production car-> very aerodynamic.

Toyota Prius, much better than the Honda hybrids.

love hondas.
hate hybrids.
so VW ALL THE WAY

VW for sure. No contest.

My friend just traded his ‘04 civic for new ‘07 Jetta diesel, but he is thinking about Passat D.

Jetta for sure.Honda looks like shit, seriously.Next time u see new civic, stand beside it, look at it from different angles, and it looks plain ugly, short front end, u r fucked in case of accident, unless u did a favour for a god once, no, i didnt think u did ))
H-had
O-one
N-never
D-did
A-again

Hybrids suck, there not as “fuel conservative” as a euro diesel car. take for example a prius get 44 mpg and a VW polo diesel can get up to 75 mpg.

Hands down, Jetta. I love Hybrids, but the VW Diesel tech is dope.

Jetta TDI FTW!!

jetta tdi hondas are for ricers

Its decided, screw the HONDA, even the honda owner wants a JETTA

I own a 07 civic, but I would take the Jetta. Its a nice car, and with a diesel it probably gets great gas mileage.

The Jetta RULES! That Civic is buttt ugly.

v-dub, the honas a gay hybrid and really ugly.

haha you kidding? Jetta. diesels are the shit

I’d take the Jetta.

Oil Burner all the way

Jetta, less waste in the end (no huge battery pack!)

the VW Jetta

Jetta

anything NOT a Hybrid.

without a doubt I would get the civic

I’d get the Jetta, pull the drivetrain and swap it into my diesel Escort, then part out the VW’s remains. Then I’d have the feather-weight of an 80’s econobox with the torque of a modern diesel. It’d totally rip!

The jetta.
