The VM Motori diesel is not a bad unit, but the relative scarcity of the CRDs will make you have to be scrupulous about maintenance history on a used one. I believe that this is an interference style engine so watch the cam drive condition. There are tuning boxes, exhaust systems and intakes for them and they do help. Just do your homework and find a good connection for parts and service.
