I've been lurking these boards for a while, and you folks have helped me to consider the Golf TDI to replace my '91 Saab 900. I have taken two test drives from Cleveland area dealers. I really like the car and it's clearly a great highway cruiser for that portion of my daily commute. But I'm not certain if it can compete in the cut-and-thrust of urban driving. (let's leave chips out of this for now) What I think would help me decide is to have a car for a day or so, so I could test it in my real world. Does anyone know if there are TDI rentals available? any dealer with a TDI in the loaner fleet that might rent one?
thanks for you help/ideas.

Re: need longer test drive - any ideas? (resinguy)

Try to arrange to borrow the demo for the day to take it to work and back. Leave your current vehicle with them. I had to leave my Accord with a VW dealer for a day while he got an independent appraiser to give a trade-in figure. Give your business to the dealer who is willing to accommodate you.

That's exactly what my dad did several years ago with his Saab dealership. He was torn between an A6 and a 9-5. The 9-5 was lent to him on Saturday night and he gave it back Mon morning (fyi: this was in Illinois where blue laws prohibit dealerships from being open on Sundays).
He bought the 9-5.
