The TDI's do cost more to maintain and repair. Oil changes cost a lot more, because VW recommends synthetic oil. The fuel mileage difference comes close to paying for that, but if an injection pump breaks, that's a $1000+ part. Glow plugs are some $45 a piece. Worth it? If you buy it new, then yeah. Otherwise, I'd stick with a good gas powered car.
