x2 solid reliable car (with the manual transmission at least. VW automatics... not so much) We've got more than 500,000 miles total on our 3 TDI's. Need the usual diesel tweaks about every 100k like new injector return lines, clean the gunk out of the intake manifold, etc.
With diesel VW's, the annoyances are usually stupid things like power window regulators, door handles, etc. that fail. The drivetrain is rock solid and can really deliver up to 50 mpg.
