I currently have a '00 jetta with almost 200K on the odo. At this point I will need to do the brakes, timing belt, and before next summer A/C as it didnt work this summer (at times did and at times did not) and no one knew what it was, glow plugs and a new battery. I am thinking all this will cost me aroun $1500 and it may or may not drive another two years or so.
I drive around 40000km/year and my jetta has been nothing but exceptional in reliability and other then the A/C there is nothing bad I can say about it.
I had a look at the '06 tdi and white with black leather pkg REALLY made me want to switch. And this is where you guys come in. Are the new engines (PD) as reliable as the older engines? Will I be just as happy with the new car as I was with my current car? Anyone recently maybe made a purchase and can chime in on this? To be honest I am affraid that switching from the reliable machine I have now to the "unknown" car wont be fun as all the stuff I read about things that go wrong really is scary.
Thank you for your opinions.
