 I like my new 2002 Jetta TDI (5 
speed/Man)better every day. Just went 
over 11,000 miles with it. Except for 
the fact that radio stopped working one 
day, which the dealer fixed in 30 min, 
I've had no problems at all. Started 
fine all winter even at -15 F. Gas 
mileage keeps getting better now I'm 
averaging about 46 mpg. Does not smell, 
smoke or have any of the diesel 
problems that were common in the 80's. 
There is a terrific website for TDI 
owners that is very helpful.
