I've driven one and, if I had the money, it'd be one of my first choices for a new car. Great power, faster top speed (by 1mph) than the gas Jetta, and pretty decent mileage. Once you break down the added cost of diesel fuel, you're only saving about .02 to .04 cents per mile, not counting the added cost of purchasing the car. Buy the car because you're in it for the coolness and longevity of the vehicle itself, not just that you're looking to save on gas.
