they have a jetta diesel...i saw at the dealership it says "not a concept car." I forget what size motor it was, but it was turbo diesel, and got like 42ish on the highway. That's probably the only car that appeals to me, since it would probably be reliable and a good daily.

With the MK 4's, the vr6 is more reliable, but gets worse mpg, so its a toss up. 1.8t is easier to mod since it comes with a stock turbo, which is the major cause of all the problems. But without the turbo, the car is extremely slow.

I like the look of vw's, i just don't like that they are overly complicated for no good reason. Around my area, they have become the new riced-out civic. Everyone and their mom have a VW, so I kinda respect hondas now and how they produce more power naturally aspirated than a good amount of vw's.

I'd suggest you look into the mkV jetta tdi, might be a nice car.
