Couldn't find too much else on them...

You could always change your own oil too, $20 vs $50. Maybe its an Ontario thing but you can also drop off your used oil at any garage, they can charge you the disposal fee but none have bothered to charge me yet. I asked the local canadian tire where they would like me to put it and I drop it off whenever.
I too am considering a VW diesel as a next car, but odds are it will cost more to maintain than your altima, no one I know that had a VW bought another right after. I am almost leaning towards the older simpler ones as they cost less to start with and don't have so many expensive parts to break, look up how often the TDI injector pumps fail, it might make the $15 per tank extra with altima seem like a great deal!
Do your homework so you know what your getting into and you should be fine.
