A decade ago, they had real issues. Whether they still do is for you to risk and find out

Buy what you want. You'd really buy a A3 ONLY because available as a diesel??
I really want the BMW 1 series 4 door in a Diesel, but they don't sell those in the USA. Maybe the Golf TDI is the way to go. I'm just looking for a fun/small 4 door hatchback for running around Houston.

OTOH, I just had the door pillars replaced on my wife's X5 at 6 months old! The seat belt likes to chip/scratch them.
