[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Car nut here, will keep it short.

Don't get a VW, too many reliability issues down the road (would love to have a GTI myself but won't touch a VW product), plus depreciation on VW's are huge. More repair bills (post warranty) + huge depreciation = high lifetime cost of ownership.

Newer Subaru's are not as solid as old ones, a few year ago we traded a 2012 Subaru for a 2010 Honda and the Honda was far better put together. Won't notice it initially, but over time, Subaru will give you more issues.

Get a Honda/Toyota product with 30k mileage or less, for Honda/Toyota, 30k miles is pretty much "new", even with slightly neglected maintenance over 30k miles, Honda/Toyotas will fare better than VW/Subaru products over time. Plus they'll fetch a better price when time comes to sell them. Sweet spot is if you can get a car that is about 5yrs old w/30-40k miles, w/one previous owner and all service records.

Best of luck.[/quote]

Forgot to mention that w/the above (5yrs/30k miles) you'll get the car for less than half the price of new and still w/80% it remaining life, so that's fairly well spent $$$.....which leaves you with extra $$$ for other pleasures in life :-)[/quote]
