Hi All,

Never drove a VW until my latest car (2003 Jetta TDI).

Had 210K when I first got it and now has about 225K on it.....NO problems at all and it gets 50 MPG highway if I do 60 MPH.

I have heard horror stories about VWs but I have been happy with mine....

So happy in fact that I would recommend that you NOT buy the ALH VWs (I think from 1999 to 2003) so it'd be easier for me to get another to keep in reserve when this one finally wears out (which in my reading should be well north of 500K miles) ;-O
