I have a 2000 Jetta TDI with 117K miles on it.

Weak Points
Window regulators (since been redesigned and fixed)
MAF - Through 2003 they still proved to be weak. Easy Fix is to use a MB diesel Maf that is 1/3 the cost and is a pretty good match. 2004 model cars got a new engine and I assume a new MAF.

Strong points
life time MPG = 52 mpg
Plenty peppy stock. If it is chipped it is down right fun. (not as quick as a 911 but then again the 911 doesn't get 50 mpg)

At highway speeds you can not really hear the engine and I actually think it is more quite than the 1.8T car. No issues with cold starting

My only true complaint has been rear leg room. It is a little tight but still useable.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.
