Wow! I had an '02 Jetta 5-spd TDI and the best I got was a 750 mile tank. Of course, my commute is only about 20 miles round trip, so it took a long time between fill ups.

I had to sell it once we had our second kid because of the lack of enough rear seat room for a rear-facing baby seat (with two kids...with one kid it works nicely to place them in the middle). Some day I'd like to get another one. 2003 is the best year, IMHO, as it's pre-pumpe-duse (more fuel efficient, if less powerful), but still has the 100K-mile timing belt change interval and has the best looking alloy wheels.

My dream car would be a silver (or white, or champagne) '03 Jetta TDI Wagon 5-spd.
