ya if you put a lot of miles on. the cost of german parts and maintenance isn't near as big a deal for some one who's into cars and can work on them. For the average person on the street who pays someone to fix their car when ever something is wrong I would be a bit more reluctant to recommend one.
If I lived 20+ miles from work I would lease a new TDI, or buy a old 1.9l for a beater. I would not want to own a newer TDi out of warranty. I drove a new Jetta sportwagon from kato to Chicago and back. I loved they car. I averaged just under 50mpg, and did not drive it lightly. They have a lot of torque so they are fun cars to drive. However I live 2mi from work so I drive a 6.0l v8 Chevy, mileage be dammed I like my 400hp SUV
