Hi,
I am seriously considering purchasing a new 2015 Volkswagon Golf 1.8T TSI S 4 door hatchback.
I typically keep my cars for 10-12 years and was wondering if the maintenance over that period
will be substantially more that a Honda Civic, with a naturally aspirated engine?
Are VW turbos still considering very risky and problematic? Or are the new 2015 models now
more reliable? I read all the horror stories about past poor reliability issues with VW, but
I an beginning to wonder if some of it is a bit over-exaggerated?
My local VW deals tells me oil changes are $89.00! Why?? If I do purchase, can I do all
my service at a local independent shop that specializes in VW's? I would think the independent shop would be more reasonable than the a VW dealer?
Thanks
