 This is my 4th VW. Its my 2nd TDI. I loved my previous TDI. This one, not so much. I am the 2nd owner having bought it 7/13 with ~17K miles. I have put almost 40K miles on it. It is far more powerful than my previous TDI but fuel economy does not match it either. I have not really had any mechanical issues. Just routine maintenence.  I should really like this car but I am just not happy with it. There is a resonance (buzz) in the dash between 1500 & 1800rpm which is where I end up running most of the time. The sunroof shade also rattles. The seats are just not comfortable to me. I'm not a slender person but I'm not morbidly obese either.  The side bolsters on the seats make them too narrow. ***update*** In December 2015 I decided life is too short to drive something over 20K miles a year that I don't enjoy.  I traded it using the VW TDI Goodwill gift cards to help with the down payment.  I took a beating on the trade but I was relieved to be done with it.  A year later VW came through with additional settlement money to compensate qualified sellers for the TDI debacle.  Between the gift cards and the settlement I think I was made whole financially speaking.  Now that VW has "de-contented" the Jetta I do not ever see me owning another.
