Hi, I'm planning on buying a 2002 Golf TDI for my wife. She currently is migrating(or at least planning on migrating from) her 1992 Acura Integra to this VW. I have an old A2 Jetta and love it to death. However, I don't know much about the reliability of the new VWs, and especially the diesels. Does anyone know if the new Consumer Reports and JD Power and Associates poor reviews on movest VWs apply to the diesels? Frankly, all this bad press is making me feel that maybe the reliability of my A2 hasn't made it into the new A4s. Can anyone help? I've found this nice deal on the Golf (GL, 2002, manual tranny, air, 4 door, Diesel, 20,000KM) for 20 grand Cdn, and am wondering if I should get it.
Thank You for Your Help
