Vw quality has come a long way in the last 10 years. I've owned 5 going back to 1994 and my last two, both mk6 generation, were/are great compared to my earlier models. My 2000 golf was made in Mexico and was a lemon. With the mk6, if you keep up with the service schedule and don't treat the car like a teenager you should be ok. But yea the 3 year/36k mile warranty has always sucked and I didn't want to take a chance this time. I'm averaging 32 mpg highway.

I have a 2013 GTI drivers edition DSG. I love it. Build quality is very high. I've had 5 vw's and this is by far the best one as far as interior quality and fun. Luckily mine had the Laguna wheels. I hate those other wheels that look like ninja throwing stars that on the other models. I highly recommend the GTI. And yea, the extended warranty
A 4 door Golf R would be pretty close to perfect except for 2 things. One is that the MPG could be better and 2 is, like you said, get the extended warranty. I'm just not sure I want to deal with that.
As for the Accord, I've driven one and it was like Honda got their mojo back. Once upon a time, Honda was high value but the cars felt good and I think the latest Accord goes back to that. On the other hand, I haven't been able to spend any time with the Mazda.
