I currently own a 2003 Jetta TDI 5spd. My situation is that my better half will be in need of new transportation in the not to distant future. NOTE: She won't/can't drive a manual.
So my next purchase must be either an automatic or DSG. That said, I have had great service and reliability from both my Mk3 and Mk4 TDI Jettas. Yes, I service them and do preventative maintenance.
I'd like to stay in the VW family so the question is:
Jetta?
Sportwagon?
Passat?
Reliability and longevity are the main concerns with maintenance costs a close second.
Cost of purchase is secondary to the above, so the newest of the above models won't be ruled out. I prefer diesels, but I wouldn't rule a gaser if it meets my concerns listed above.
What do my fellow members have to say?
Thanks,
John
