QUOTE(JunJun04035 @ Aug 12 2017, 05:56 AM) since there is no clear benefits of getting a Jap, why buy a Jap Abundance of spare parts, newer car interior , easily saleable , easily repaired, not requiring special tools or knowledge ,  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 |

QUOTE(JunJun04035 @ Aug 13 2017, 12:04 PM) You again contradicting yourself. A VW will become scrap.faster than a Japanese car 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.  As it is, polo are already disappearing from streets , same with fiesta, 308, 206, almost zero new facelifts , older models quickly disappearing |
