Unless you're located in Tennessee, you won't be seeing Volkswagen Jetta SportWagens as Police cars in North America anytime soon. For a few community policing officers in Chattanooga, Tennessee and the surrounding Hamilton County, the diesel-powered Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI - with a lovely bodykit and requisite light bar - will make for a lovely ride through southeastern Tennessee.
From a purely financial standpoint, the main benefit of these Volkswagen-gifted Jetta TDIs is tremendous fuel efficiency. The EPA rates the Jetta TDI at 42 miles per gallon on the highway. Diesel fuel in Chattanooga is currently running about thirty cents higher than the price for regular gasoline.
And why the gift from Volkswagen USA? 12 miles northeast of Chattanooga is Volkswagen's new factory. Made in Germany? Not so much. Designed In Germany, Built In Tennessee? That's more like it.
The Good Car Guy acclaimed the Jetta SportWagen TDI in The Good 12 v3.0. But keep in mind, this Jetta isn't based on the new for 2011 Volkswagen Jetta sedan, a different car with the same engines.

I can't say I was surprised that Volkswagen's 2013 turbocharged Jetta Hybrid consumed more fuel than the EPA said it would. The Jetta's tiny 1.4L turbo likes to rev. So I revved it. In the first few days of testing, over the span of 136...
