My boyfriend has a 2009 Jetta TDI Sportwagen 6spd. He also has a 2002 Golf TDI auto. The 09 totally kills the 02. He drives the 09 daily, but then again, his commute is only like 15 minutes down the road. It's mainly for family purposes (just him, me, puppy, and his mom thus far, but thinking towards the hopefully near future).

To me, the clutch just feels weird in the 09. I like the Yaris better for the clutch.
