Mine was the TDI (diesel) model with the DSG 6 speed. You can read my story here:

The diesels in general had a lot of problems, but I had general non diesel related issues with mine as well.

It is my understanding that the 2.5 gas engine is more reliable, but that is just based on what I have read, I have no direct experience with one. I would check Consumer Reports for their reliability rating for that model. It seems everyone hates CR but I have found their historical ownership data pretty accurate. It's their new car ratings that are more questionable.
