I searched and didn't see anything on this specifically the way I wanted to ask it:
So I am around 2 weeks in with my WRX Limited, have around 600 miles on it. One of my work pals happens to have a 2016 GTI, noticed what I am driving now and made the comment that I would likely be spending a bunch more time, then he will, getting my car serviced. And that once the warranty is up its going to be pricey to repair again and again.. more then my old Volvo C30 (which was making me hate Volvo's).
Not saying I believe him, I just nodded and smiled.
Depending on where you look on the web there are many opinions. Too many.
I would think that between the GTI and the WRX the following would be the case:
- Reliability is likely a tad better with the WRX.
- My repair costs will be somewhat less then if I had a GTI.
- The cars value will be somewhat better at trade-in or sale in 4 or so years.
Both of these cars are pretty much going to get the same performance, with a small nod to the WRX, I drove both so that is my opinion.
Thoughts?
