After reading reviews of fuel economy and vehicle longevity I purchased a 2003 Jetta TDI, with 220,000 km on it, and supposedly solid maintenance record confirmed by VW dealer. Over $3000.00 has already been spent on problems such as heavy diesel fumes inside cabin due to faulty turbo, replaced heater, replaced starter, fuel guage broke, timing belt replacement kit, fender rusted completely through, and more. The automatic transmission is now shot at 234,000 km with a quote of $4000.00 to rebuild. This car is GARBAGE and I will never buy a VW product again!
