To all TDI\'ers
Hey everybody, I'm new here and don't own a TDI, well not yet anyway. Here's the deal. I'm a college student who commutes to school, I work as a delivery boy, and I am an avid lover of road trips. I love driving and rake up miles like crazy. I currently drive a Ford Taurus SHO which is approaching 200,000 miles and on its last leg. I am looking for a car with nice gas mileage, affordable, reliable, and has the potential to go beyond 200K no problem. I was told to look into a VW TDI. My question is is this the car I am looking for? Everything I have read so far has pointed me in the right direction, but after dropping hundreds of dollars on fixing that stupid SHO engine I'm not really looking for another money pit. Does a golf TDI have light maintenance? And can it really go beyond 200K with out a lot of hassle? Sorry for the long post, especially since I'm a newbie I shouldn't of made it so long but I am so curious and any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks again -Jim
