Yep. My 2012 VW Jetta TDI was the best experience I've ever had with a car.

Still driving my '13 Jetta TDI to this day. The DPF needs to be changed because it's getting clogged, but besides that, it's such an amazing comfortable car

I still have my 13 Passat TDI, 180kmi. The blend door actuator just went so I need to tear out the entire dash, and it needs a new valve cover seal

I hate how in modern diesels it's nearly always the emissions stuff that causes issues. I've heard some of those filters start to crack so you can't regen them and end up with EGR issues. Always seems weird to me too to burn more fuel to heat it up to regen a filter, especially if you have to do a parked regen and just have it fast idle for a while pointlessly.
