At around 121k the high pressure fuel pump died. It was replaced, but every now and then my 3 really hesitates to start, so I feel like there's some lingering issue.
As a former TDI owner who had their HPFP blow up at 28,000 miles, I'd suggest going with the 2.5 and calling it a day. I can't speak to the exact mileage you'll achieve with a good amount of highway driving, but for me there's no way I'd own another CR TDI from the VW product group until they figure out why they have $8,000 ticking time-bombs under the hood
