You will love the wagon. I know a few people on the TDi forums that switched from the smaller economy cars and they were amazed to find themselves getting better mpg than thier old cars and have WAY more space.
This Small engine turbo diesel is a good answer right now.... imagine a hybrid in the future!

I have owned diesel trucks for ten years, and I wanted a diesel for my wifes new car because we put about 20k miles a year on it. After all the research it came down to the VW and the Audi wagon (we need the extra room). The Audi is 10" shorter than the VW, so the VW was the choice for me. I am surprised more car companies are not going the diesel route. They are popular in europe, but not so much here in the U.S.
