Have over 220k miles on my DSG with zero symptoms of fault or issue. Faithfully change my own DSG oil/filter every 38k miles. Installed additional cooling around 100k miles. *tuned the DSG w/ Malone at approximately 48k miles on car.
i just bought a 2015 for $11,000 in like-new condition 90,000 miles. well cared for. no accidents. DSG. yes i see you worry for longevity. it's the car i've wanted and I searched all over the west and couldn't find a better one. The low mileage ones are going like hotcakes now. The DSG has proven to actually last. Gotta keep up on the 40,000 mile service.
I got Passat tdi 2013 TDI . 30k miles for 11200 dollars . 3 years of owning . knock on wood no problems , just oil change. we did 4000 miles trip in usa. getting 45 miles a gallon average .
Have the 2015 passat TDI SEL. Bought it for 10k with only 20k miles in 2019. Have 130k on her now. Average 45mpg with Kerma Tune. Made it from CO to TX on one tank. Only one set of tires and regular oil changes. Love the car.
My dash is always saying 45-50 mpg and 47 average. Dividing miles by gallons comes out to 65-80. 65 only in the coldest days of winter. I have the rawtek straight pipe and 0.5 stage Malone tune.
Have a 2013 Passat TDI (Europe) and 10 years on the technology and road holding is just incredible. Had some problems the first year of ownership but since I’ve been giving it long runs it hasn’t presented any problems
Great to see someone appreciating the TDI. TBH I think the whole dieselgate thing was a form of economic war agains VW since the US market had nothing to go against them. As you said Tesla was still starting and cheap diesel cars that drive nice and make 50 mpg are big competition. Great to see that you did not forget its qualities which are long road trips without hassle. Don't be afraid of DSG. All it needs to last is the regular oil change.
Have had one since new and no regrets. Also a big thank you to VW for the cash back ect for keeping the car. It was a little over $9,000 ( on a $24,000 car) . A trip to Hawaii and still some cash left over. The fix seems to help drivability (it was good to begin with) but does use a bit more DEF. Still averages 39/40 with 50 easily on trips. Ours has the DSG but we do our own maintenance on it and everything else ...so far so good.
The market is beginning to be flooded with TDI's that have been fixed. I bought a 2014 SEL TDI. This makes my 7th diesel in my lifetime. Rabit - Jetta Turbo-Diesel - Peugeot - Passat - Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel - Jetta TDI and now the Passat SEL TDI. All the previous Diesels got me 200k+. My (new to me) TDI has 122k miles and I hope to be my forever TDI. GET ONE WHILE YOU CAN! ! !
Get the Malone tune DPF delete, mine has 333,000kms on it and DPF system needed to be replaced quoted 6k at dealer said no thank you, so went with the malone tune, and DPF & EGR Delete Downpipe from Rawtek best move we've made so far.

I used to get 56.9 MPG in my Passat TDI SEL with the DSG. I miss that car a lot.....lol
Nothing like a manual. I will be buying one of these!

I am seriously considering buying a manual TDI in the near future. These look like great cars to get.
