QUOTE(rcracer @ Aug 12 2017, 08:25 AM) Abundance of spare parts, newer car interior , easily saleable , easily repaired, not requiring special tools or knowledge , You again contradicting yourself. Something you can trade easily as you upgrade your self , The polo is already feeling 5 years behind , in 5 years it wok feel 10 years older. It won't age well and owners won't bother spending too much on it to maintain as it will be expensive to out of warranty Since it's job is to move you from point A to point B, it will be most likely be kept till become scrap, like for 10 years. By then both car fetch roughly the same value, may a Jap fetch 2k more, is that more value to you? It's a MPI and Aisin gearbox, which I seriously believe that anyone can fiddle the drivetrain without much problems, that at least slash the truth value of your "maintenance difficulty" statement by half. Again with some quick google I found plentiful of result in parts for VW, maybe not as much choice of the mighty Toyota and Honda, but then, hey it's 2017, lot's of people own VW.  The point being, it's not much difference mean wither two is equally bad, or equally meh.  |
