    school me on diesel caddys

    looking to get a winter warrior and im leaning towards a diesel vw caddy. besides the rust problems, any reasons not to get one? they seem pretty simple and straight forward

    thanks!

        Reliability, its a vw. Some are doomed while others are champs. Im a huge fan of vw but i would never own one with digifart and craptronic. Vr6 again someday. I had a mk2 gti with snow tires and it was unstoppable in the snow but the motor hated me.

                              Or "Cadillac "?
