My 85 Jetta TD has avoided getting towed since I got it back about 1988, 
except once when it slid off an icy road and bent a subframe......which got 
replaced with a good used one. The car has been incredible...far beyond my 
wildest expectations. And I personally think it has some advantages over 
the newer TDI versions....one of the things I like about diesels is the 
simplicity and reliability, and the TDI's are moving toward an ultra high 
tech target.....IMHO.

My 84 Rabbit na D has pretty much the same reputation. Towed once when it 
hit a rock hidden by a snowbank. Still serving daily......greatly benefited 
last year from getting new glow plugs and polished up glow plug connections.
