Here, the diesels have been around forever and have been fairly indestructible...until lately.
Manufacturers went to great lengths to wring out the very last MPG out of the car, which has led to some very complicated and daring designs.
Personally, I would rather have a tad older tech with 10% worse MPG than pay trough the nose for latest and greatest and then risk a general failure.
Most of cars with HPFP-troubles mentioned on VW forum had less than 30000 miles FFS! That's really bad.
Here in Sweden, VAG decided to stop offering DSG Passat's to Taxi companies as many drivers munched two/three transmissions before the end of drivetrain warranty. It must have cost a fortune for factory to cover this...
