I put another 16K miles on my TDI since we last spoke and I am still happy (although I did go through 2 unpleasant experiences). I had the front window problem: well, my window basically fell into the door when I was going about 70mph on the highway. The linkage broke (as VW vaguely warned) and nothing was holding it in place. They replaced both linkages with no questions. I had an EGR problem: the car would not start one morning - it would crank but no fire. Had to tow to dealer and they had to replace the EGR valve. For detailed info on EGR go to tdiclub website, but it basically got stuck in an open position and it prevented oxygen from entering. Warranty is great.
Poor Product, Arrogant Manufacturer

Grimly unreliable. This car reminds me of owning a 1977 Fiat in High School. VW's look classy and handle well, but things fall off this car (i.e. interior panels, turn signal covers, coat hooks) The check engine light flashes like a Munich disco. Never again will VW gain my business.

Get the TDi! This amazing little engine has tons of torque - much faster around town than the base 2.0, plus you get amazing gas mileage. TDi's have more sound insulation, so the ride is actually a good bit quieter. Car feels like an expensive German sedan - great handling, high-end controls and displays, nice seats. A lot of car for the money! Monsoon stereo is fantastic. Auto transmission works great with the TDi.
not up to par

within weeks of purchase, i brought the car in for warranty work. the lights would not flash when arming or disarming the alarm. service said that a fuse was missing. second time was for annoying passenger side doors creaks and rattles. service replaced rear door weather seal and both front door's plastic window clips. creaking and rattling still audible. overall, it's an ok car.
Great little car

Great looking car. Awesome fuel efficiency! Turbo diesel is more than enough to get me where I'm going.
