Hi guys!
I currently own a 2013 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 with 110,000 miles on it. I had the engine replaced under warranty already due to the recall and it seizing. They replaced the entire long block.
I was thinking about getting a new (new to me) vehicle. I found a 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagon TDI with 64,000 miles on it. The VW is a certified pre-owned with a 2 year or 24,000 mile factory warranty. The car is also part of the dieselgate thing so they have an extended warranty to 120,000 miles or 10 years from in service date on the engine and the emissions system including exhaust. I have heard mixed on the 2.0 TDI engines and was hoping to get the reality on them - some say they are bulletproof and others say they are junk and very unreliable. The other consideration is it is the DSG transmission - also seems to be mixed when I google!
Long term to me is the reliability of the vehicle. I would pay a little less monthly for the VW than the Hyundai. Just looking for some opinions on whether to keep the Hyundai or get the VW!
Thanks!
