Sorry for the WOB but I'm looking at buying my first diesel and I'm hoping someone with some knowledge could give me some advice. My family is expanding and I need something with a trunk that doesn't mind Canadian winters. New VW diesels are a bit out of my price range but I'm looking at a 2005 Passat diesel wagon with a 2.0 litre motor, and a 2006 Jetta diesel wagon with a 1.9 litre. From what I've read on the internet they both seem fine, but does one motor have a better reputation than the other? Thanks Jeff in Winnipeg 85 Westfalia GL 03 Beetle convertible, up for sale:( I deliver! |
