Not better than a Prius. And the new ones have been used as taxis and gone over 200k miles with no battery issues. Toyota has been doing this tech a long time, and has it figured out it seems.

ETA: The Passat is definitely a bigger and more luxurious ride, though. All depends on what you need. You'll also be paying $0.35 or so more per gallon compared to the Prius.

TDI was on the shortlist when we got our Prius though. Can't go wrong with either IMO.

I don't know why, but somehow I thought about the Passat when I read your post. Still, that's a very good price on a diesel Jetta if it's legit.

ETA-I thought the mileage was a little better on those.
