I've got an 02 Jetta TDI that gets about 45 mpg and is bulletproof so far at 80K miles.
I watched my father and brother run the heck out of their early 80's diesel Jetta and Rabbit. My dad put 275K miles on his 1980 diesel Jetta before selling it and buying a 1990 diesel Jetta. My brother put 250K miles on his 1982 (I think) diesel Rabbit before getting rid of it. Neither of them did anything major in repairs to the engine, just the ususal drivetrain components that wear.
I finally picked up this 02 and what a solid improvement in the engine pickup and overall fit & finish of the body and interior. Reminds me of a Saab I had many years ago, real solid number.
