The last great years in my opinion were 1985 and 1986 for their turbo diesels. I have owned a lot of them up to the 2000 diesel we brought new. There will be no more.
What really erked me is with the tdi engines is little to no real cabin heater. The old models would burn your hands near the vents in comparison. Plus meaningful available heat was the quickest I have ever experienced..I hope this has been rectified by now. You really want a good heater this far north.
