Both solid choices. Both manuals, I hope.
The VW will deliver on the MPGs, will likely cost more in maintenance in the long run, but hold a higher resale value down the road.
First key: Drive them, back-to-back, if possible. Which one suits you better?
Second key: How far is your local dealer for each brand? (In case you need to use the service department.) Do they have a good reputation?
Third key: Are there independent garages near you that specialize in each? Having a great indie mechanic brings much peace of mind.
I've never owned a TDI, but have
always wanted one. Had an '01 Golf for many years (dumped many thousands of $$$ into it.) Have owned many Hondas over the years (two currently).
