Quote:I have a friend who has owned nothing but TDIs for as long as they've been building them.  Both he and his wife, and their son drive them.  He's a VW guy going back to his first car because his dad ran the distribution center here in Jacksonville.  They're good quality cars that are reliable and fairly fun to drive.  The TDI is surprisingly spry for a diesel, but he gets manual transmissions in all his cars.  Right now he's got a new Jetta and Passat with the TDI, and his son drives the last generation Jetta that was a hand-me-down from his dad.  They rarely have any problems with them, and he's meticulous about the maintenance on his vehicles.
