i've had 2 TDI Golfs
first one was 03 stick consistantly got 55 MPG with it. it was totaled by a jag rear ending it. had 30K on it.

second one still have it. 04 auto 35K and get 40+ around town. only troubles ive had was:
1) rear ended by rubbernecker watching airplane land, 2200 damage.
2) it was backed over (front end) by 18 wheeler backing up. 5600 damage.
3) hit by lightening. *ALL* electronics replaced. 7500 damage and still not right. engine check light stays on and no codes???.

time to trade it in. looking at the prius but waiting for new VW's before making final decision. really wanting to wait for a high mileage hybrd to come along.
