I have a 2000 VW Jetta TDI. It's gotten basically nothing but 10k mile oil changes and a couple of timing belts in its 247,000+ miles (I've owned it since just under 92k). The only engine related rep

I loved my '89 Mercedes 190D. It was a luxury car that got 40mpg! I sold it with over 300,000miles on the clock and as far as I know, it's still a daily commuter. In fact, that body and everything ab

I guess the factors I see would fall under that category as well. Big truck motors have a miniscule power output for their weight, bigger bearings, better filtration, etc. But I do believe that the

I'll second Paul's praise of the Jetta. I also have a 2000 and my entire family loves it. The TDI owners rival the British car folks for participatory support - there are several active net based clu
