I own a 2001 TDI jetta...
I'd have to say it being new and a simple car, repairs have been minor compaired to my benzs. The seats are much less comfortable, suspension, and noise. Hands down driving 4-20 hours straight the benz will be infinitly more pleasureable.
The down note, the new timing belt and water pump service on VW's is harder by a long shot than replacing the chain in any OM6XX engine.
Wife loves the tdi mileage... and in the city it's easier for her to get around. I'd personally rather have 2 W124's.
