Reliability, these TDI engines last passed 300k, in fact my golf i autocrossed had 310k and was still making decent times.
Safety, I just figured the Jetta would be safer, i really didnt do any research. Part of the Jettas selling point was how safe it is. I cant imagine a short sports car to be safer than it.
Efficiency I drive my jetta like i stole it most the time and still get 40+. Red line is about 4500 but power peaks at around 3800 so i never really come close to the rev limiter. I love chirping into 2nd lol
Comfort, My Jetta is WAY more comfortable, I had to fully extend the wheel back and up to not knock my knees. The BRZ's seats had an amazing amount of lumbar support though which was nice.
I didnt think about the fact that the 1st gens will depreciate more quickly when the 2nd gens come out thats a good point. I actually used that fact that the 2nd gen is being released to try and get the dealership to drop the price some.
Assuming i dont crash it, and nobody crashes into me itll still be in good shape in a few years. Im just not so sure ill have as much equity in it to trade it in by that time. Actually ill have the jetta paid off before then so maybe ill just have 2 cars but no garage to park either of them in LOL. That would probably be ideal anyway. ALso id miss the smell of diesel lmao
I hope they release a 2nd gen in this color, its always been my favorite. although a close second is definitely the Hakone edition green
