They have a high reliablity record in diesel cars as far as I have been able to see on the TDI forum, and we never had a problem with our Jetta. And If memory serves me I have read some where that they had a low opinion in the '70's of MB 220D.
I've never heard much good about the Cherokee's, either body style. And while you love VW's, I sure hear alot of folks having many problems.
If 49 out of 100 is horrible performance, then there were still 51 folks happy with theirs. I assume you have been one of those, and that is good. I hope that luck holds!
Bill, good article. Thanks.
