We pretty much abuse the crap out of these things. I've found they're VERY difficult to find and command a premium on the used market.
Also, owning a car that is efficient doesn't necessarily mean one is a global warming lemming. I'm the biggest 'denier' you'd ever want to meet  I also save $200 per vehicle per week in fuel costs versus the old vehicles we were driving. That's real money in my pocket to spend on gas-guzzling weekend fun cars.

I've had 4 VW diesle trucks, the last one had almost 500K on it when I traded it off and have had multple other VWs, both air & water cooled and have had very good luck with both since buying my 1st 66 bus way back when
