It will get 50MPG on the HW all day long, really a hair better then that if you don't get to crazy with the speed you travel at. I've got 210,000 miles on mine (I bought it new), so I've got some experience to say the least.
All that being said I don't think I would get another one. When I bought my car the TDi option wasn't all that expensive, diesel fuel was less and I was doing a TON of highway driving.
The new TDi performs better then my little 90HP wonder but they also have lost some economy in the process. If I'm going to drop down to 40ish MPG but still have to pay more for diesel (at least here in Maine), more to maintain (timing belts, oil, filters etc) and it's quirks (EGR clogging the intake manifold, although I'm sure they've gotten better at this) then it's simply not worth it to me.
It's always started though, even on some very, very cold days. It wasn't pretty and to sounded awful but it's been very trust worthy.
I just had a timing belt job done ($1200 bucks at the dealer BTW, needs to be done every 85k) and I went through the whole suspension so it should be good for a while yet. I just need to track down why my spedo has a mind of it's own...typical VW electrical nonsense!
