Exactly! The big difference will be in the ride as I think the VW seats are very hard and uncomfortable. I love the ride and seats that are in my 86 505 Turbo SW, they are the cloth heated seats as are the Jetta's but the Jetta's just don't feel right.
I would hope that the ride would not be as harsh in the Peugeot. Is there anyone on the list that has driven both the newer Peugeot's and Jetta's that could give their opinion on this subject?

We can only hope. I will trade my Jetta TDI on a new Peugeot when it happens!

some guy called their bluff
so they filled a TD and went for a spin, no freways, just country and towns
after 1710 KM it went dry....that is 1065 mi!
When gas and diesel gets to $5 US per mini gallon. next year, hopefully the new Peugeot diesels will be here soon after

Subject: [Peugeot-L] Economy 405 TD
Hi all.. Just been 750 miles in my 405, tried to calculate economy and
have got 43.6 MPG (UK) for first 550 dry fast miles, and 34.6 MPG for
last 200 (a fair bit of air added to three tires, but very wet
conditions for last 125 miles)
Overall 40.8 MPG which I am pleased with, as the car was quite well
loaded, and speeds were between 70 and 90. But is it normal to get
such a drop, in wet weather?
