 I bought this car in 2004 with around 50,000 km on it.  I wanted a TDI and was not disappointed. Averaging close to 60,000 km a year I no have over 400,000 Km on the car and it runs like clockwork.  The TDI is the best invention yet. Reliable, efficient and relatively quiet.  I get consistent 55- 60 mph in my 75 hwy and 25 city driving.  I laugh when people talk about reliability when they drive a car for a few thousand km.  Vw is quality and I have the km to prove it. I can't wait to purchase another TDI from Volkswagen. My hope is a new TDI tiguan as soon as we get them.  Best car I ever owned.
