I purchased a 2010 Jetta TDI Sportwagen 6-spd manual. Ordered before the 2010's were avail, and delivered (10/09) in the US.
It has the hiccups :-(
I was unaware before, but now find many blogs and forums to this effect. I'm responding to this post:

At 800 km I took it back. 8 days later, my car had an entirely new fuel system. Tank, lines, filter. etc.
Still hiccups :-(
It hiccups randomly, but I can reproduce this hiccup consistently: cruising on the flat, 2K rpm, 3rd gear. Go over a sudden decline (there's nothing steep in NJ) - hiccup.
Two of us drive this car, and it happens to both of us.
There are other issues with responsiveness, which I'm addressing with VW as well.
Regards.
