That is a rare bird.

A friend of the family used to have one of those, baby $chit brown. He beat on it mercilessly, and I was always impressed by how well it held up.

Yep, and the parts for a TDI will be much easier to find than those for a wasserboxer. Lots more engines available now than a few years ago, and the TDIs have LOTS of room for tuning. 200ft/lbs is not a stretch for these engines, even for a daily driver.
