1998 model year. It was a nice car, with a lot of character. No problems with the diesel engine, even here in North Dakota. It always started (even without a block heater, though it was garaged), and routinely delivered 40 mpg or more. It wasn't fast, but was nowhere near as pokey as older diesels, and it cruised down the interstate at 70-75 with ease. There were various issues with the rest of the car, however. Power windows, broken trim pieces, and so on. She would still be driving it if it hadn't hit something last winter... don't ask.
The TDI requires a fairly expensive drive belt replacement at 60,000 miles, I think. These cars have a very dedicated following. Check out this site: http://www.tdiclub.com/
