306k km / 190k miles on my Jetta.

It's currently laid up to solve an electrical gremlin and re-cert for another province.

Regarding that engine/body comment ...

I bought my car in 2006, and then VW re-released (in Canada, at least) the "City" Jetta/Golf - same Mk IV body style as my 2000. So, when the body on mine eventually goes, I'll carefully consider the option of buying a newer 2007-2009 City Jetta, since it should be close to 99% compatible with my car's shell, and around 8 years newer, with Greta's little ticker still running the works.
