I thought about buying one of those, but I'm leaning towards the Jeep Liberty CRD, as I live in the mountains, and could use the 4WD. Too bad VW doesn't offer the Passat TDI with 4MOTION.
I was going to get a 6-spd Wrangler unlimited, and then stumbled across the TDIs. The Jettas don't have much ground clearance, so for the deep stuff I'll have to get the '90 'burb ready for this winter.
I was looking at getting a CRD but the mileage just wasn't there for me. Couldn't justify it otherwise. Nice vehicle though!
