I was thinking about the longevity, back in the day when a 240D was a "500,000 mile car" a VW diesel was a "250,000 mile car" but that was also when a gas car that went 100,000 miles was a great car. Today just about any gas car can go 200,000 miles with just normal maintenance so it seems reasonable that today's TDI should go 500,000 without much issue. At 30,000 miles a year thats still longer than I probably intend to keep one...

Longevity isn't Benz-like, but they are nice cars.
