over the years have owned or had in immediate family a hadful of vw diesels between mk1 and mk6, have also had several gti/r in family.

vw screwed the jetta platform, it used to be an equivalent to the golf rather than inferior

last fall we traded a 12 golf tdi for a 15 gti. Basically because the newer vw diesels are not the old vw diesels. New ones just have too much fancy emissions related complications and things to break. My 03 on the other hand had the relative sophistication of a tractor.

Our net mpg result factoring for fuel costs are about a wash, and i no longer have to demand the gf gets fuel at only truck stops to hopefully ward off the fuel system grenading due to poor quality diesel.
