We own a 2000 Jetta 5 speed turbo, it has (are you ready) 300k miles on it and still runs great, heated seats, everything on this car still works. I just don't understand why the newer diesel's don't get as good mileage as the older models ours 51 mpg. Also, I believe a manual drive last longer. We have the timing belt changed every 70k miles, that is about all the expense to a diesel and is VERY expensive through a VW dealership. Lucky for us we have a mechanic who works on nothing but diesel motors and charges moderate rates. We are in the process of looking for another diesel Jetta.
