Four years ago I bought a mk4 golf tdi to reduce my fuel consumption, not necessarily to save money, but that was a close second. I really enjoy driving the car, but would like one in better condition. Test drove an mk7 but having a difficult time justifying buying a diesel when some non-hybrid gassers get similar cost/mile fuel consumption. If I drove 20K miles or more annually I wouldn't hesitate, but in the last five years I've only averaged driving 11,700 miles/yr. So what was it about the new diesel that sold you. Is low end torque really worth the extra cost.
