B5.5
I've owned Golf TDI's both manual and auto, I've owned Jetta TDI's both auto and manual, I owned Beetle TDI's both auto and manual, an ATW Passat wagon manual, an ATW Passat sedan auto, an AWM Passat DSG, I had an 06 and a 10 Sportwagon TDI and a 10 sedan TDI. I bought a brand new 13 Passat Sel Pre TDI, my only comment on it was a real POS glad it got crushed and out of my life, I presently own a 13 Sportwagon TDI DSG, very nice car...but by far the best, the very best car I ever owned was my B5.5 Passat DSG TDI GLS sedan, I am sorry to this very day I sold it. If your doing city driving any of the smaller cars will work fine, but on the road a Jetta would be nice but the ultimate is the 04, 05 Passat TDI's, great feel of the road, great suspension, great handling and the car thinks all roads are flat. Torque. The 04 and 5's had issues but the newer TDI's are time bombs. I believe with the inroads on the new gassers buying diesel is a mistake, MPG comparing gas to diesel with todays gasser technology isn't a factor anymore and there are too many problems with VW TDI engines ...problem is diesel gets in your blood. In closing my daily driver is a 2000 VW Passat Wagon 1.8T manual, the 13 sits in the garage I'm afraid the HPFP or the DPF will explode... just kidding
