Thank you for the great info guys !
I will also consider Skoda as well...

Hello guys, I am trying to decide between B5.5 (1.9 130HP - 6spd) and B6 (2.0 140HP -6spd)... Sadly most of these cars have at least 260k kms and I am wonder if they are reliable after that mileage ? B6 seems a better example but I am afraid to get an 2.0 TDI after all these horror stories about the...
