@2CoolF0rSch00l I think the camera really amplifies it since the microphone is pointed right at the engine. My father-in-law ended up buying one and it's easily as quiet as VW's 2.0T gas engine.

I test drove one the other day. I couldn't hear the motor standing next to it! Just incredible power from it as well. Running around Las Cruces NM got me about 38 mpg, so I expect about 47 on the highway.
Having driven diesel motors for the last 20 years, I've found that diesels have a break-in period of about 50,000 miles. It takes that long for the rings to seat properly. Once they do, your milage increases and the motor acts like it 'wakes' up, giving you more power and quicker response times. Now, it could be that the VW diesel being so small that it only takes 10,000 miles to break itself in. If so, so much the better.
Thats pretty loud actually! I heard the reduced the knocking... Guess its just rumors.

Theres a 10k mile break in period to so yo should expect about 50mpg on the highway after that according to the tdi forums.
