The counter point is your 2007 VAG car has given you trouble and I have spent almost nothing on my 125k mile 2007 WRX. I think if I exclude tires and gas, Ive spent less than $100 per year maintaining the car, though I did the 100k mile timing belt service myself. It has never been to a dealer or shop.

All the Anecdodes about VAG reliability are starting to sound like actual statistics to me at this point.
So true!

I'm not sure I'll be able to resist the siren call of a Mk7 GTI even considering the likely reliability/maintenance issue. After all, there's still the balance of the factory warranty right??

Cheers
