We were hoping to replace our Jetta GLX w/ a Passat TDI, 5spd, but they only came out with automatics first. A shame too. We ended up with a 9-5 aero wagon, and I absolutely LOVE it. This does not rule out the possibility of returning to a Passat TDI or E-class CDI sometime in the future.
As for gas prices, I have never seen diesel higher than the premium that is required for our Saab's. In the plains states, diesel is about 15 cents/ gal cheaper than mid grade to premium grade.
What do YOU want, I have yet to experience a VW that would make me never buy one again, even with problems...
Run winter fuel, and your car will start, I had an '82 Jetta diesel that started everyday at -10 F no problem.
europeans are lucky, they get the good diesels.
Good luck!
