I had a 2005.5 Jetta TDI. I loved it. Definitely thumbs up in terms of room. I'm 6'4, with the afro 6'9.
You want to buy the lowest miles/newest one you can afford so as to maximize time under warranty. The reason is when they go out of warranty they are very expensive to fix!
The 3 big issues I had prior to when I sold it were, (a) there is a design flaw with the TDI EGR valve (at least for the 2005.5 - 2009 MYs). It likes to go ~every 35k. (b) complete headliner sag and foam disintegration (I'm thinking due to FLA heat), (c) whatever material is used to cover the various knobs and buttons likes to get sticky and come off (again possibly FLA heat helping in the matter?).
