+1 for TDI
Posted by: mcthiel on Oct-21-12 10:28 PM (EST)

+1 for Jetta TDI wagon. I have a golf TDI and it have had it loaded with 2 boats, 3 guys and gear and it handled it great (could have squeezed a 4th man if need be).

Be wary of hybrids if you often haul a heavy load...they are commuter vehicles and at highway speeds man not have the power you need when you have extra wind resistance and weight to deal with.
