Be cautious on the VW TDI.  I had a friend buy a Jetta TDI sedan this
past spring.  After 2 bouts of the fuel pump disintegrating and sending
junk into the engine, which killed the engine he got VW to take it back
and got a non-diesel.    If VW hasn't updated the fuel pump I would be
hesitant to go that route.
