[Vwdiesel] thoughts on TDI

[James Hansen]

Buy one.
They are great.
If you can find one, the build quality on the germany and Belgium build car
is somewhat better than the Mexico cars.  I have a 97 Passat (Belgium) and a
97 Golf (Mexico).  There is no comparison regarding the fit and finish of
the interior parts. I REALLY like the tdi.
