I had two Diesel PUs and currently own a very tricked out 2.0L gasoline PU.

They, both Diesel and gasoline are great.

Problem areas are rusty strut towers and rusted fuse panels due to water
coming down the antenna cable.

6L per 100km is quite easy to get on the Diesel.

If you want more information on the Rabbit Pickup or Caddy as it known
thoughout the rest of the world visit http://www.volkswagen.org/Caddy
