2000-2012 is the sweet spot. The best car I’ve ever owned was a 2005 mk4 Jetta TDI. Didn’t do anything I wouldn’t instruct it to. It was hyper-efficient, durable and fun to drive.

TDI's really were the best

My best friend is a lifelong car guy and professional mechanic and he always says (in regards to mk4 TDI’s): “they’re the best cars.” He ain’t lyin’

I had a 97 mk3 jetta tdi

Those were pretty sweet. I had an mk2 golf in high school. My uncle gave it to me, some tweakers had cut out the catalytic converter so we shoehorned in an old Jetta exhaust lol it was awesome. My uncle is a wild man.

2011 Tacoma, can confirm.
