Best Answer

I own a 2003 Jetta TDI and a 2001 Beetle TDI.

Pros:
VERY easy on the gas (45 for the jetta automatic, 53 for the bug manual)
long time between service intervals
decent low-end torque
fun car to drive


Cons:
repairs are very expensive
oil change ~$100 - needs synthetic oil
cold weather can cause the diesel to gel in the tank and your car wont start
use #1 diesel in the winter (normally only found at truck stops)
never leave less than 1/2 a tank when below freezing
The angle of the windshield on the MK4 Jetta makes rock chips very common on the highway (get full glass coverage)
seats not very comfortable on long trips
rear doors open VERY wide so your kids will likely hit cars next to you in a parking lot.
