After 14 years and 190k miles my daughter is looking to purchase a new car. She has narrowed it down to these two. I know Honda may be more reliable, but her VW has been relatively trouble free. She is leaning toward the VW as she likes styling and I think I made her a VW gal. VW seems to be quiet a bit cheaper and with new house and new baby every $$$ counts. I have read reviews and YouTube videos looking for some firsthand experience from owners on JUST these two vehicles(she only likes these two). Concerned on fuel mileage on VW and the haptic controls . On the Honda interested on the ECVT driveability and not so good mileage for a hybrid. Looking at Sport L or Sport Touring trim. Welcome all useful information.
