I’m new to cars in general here I’ve only owned trucks and SUVs in the past but I’m wanting to purchase a tdi for a commuter car. I had a couple questions I was hoping y’all could help me with.
1: I’m 6’5” will I fit in a Jetta or Golf and would I be able to shift comfortably.
2: Are automatic transmissions prone to failure on the tdi
3: I have found 3 TDIs near me that I’m interested in and wanted the opinions of actual tdi owners.
A: 1998 Jetta 5 speed with 127,000miles ($3,500 firm)
B: 2002 golf 5 speed with 180,000miles ($4,850 obo also built by the “tdi guy” in Fort Worth)
C: 2005 Golf automatic with 125,000 miles ($5,000 obo)
Thanks for any input y’all can give me. I am very mechanical and plan to do all maintenance myself
