If you treat it right, the vw will outlast the Honda easily. If you're not going to be able to keep up with oil/ fluid/ dsg/ fuel filter etc... then you should get the Honda.

Pros: long lasting, awesome rides

Cons: requires correct maintenance intervals

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

You may want to perform a fuel pressure test at idle and 2000rpm. If you havent done so already, replace the fuel filter.

Pros: replace the fuel filter

Cons: water in the fuel

The car has 220k km on now, and VW has had to replace the high pressure fuel pump twice (2019 and 2021), and the in tank fuel pump once while dealing with random misfire issue that has since been sorted by yearly fuel filter replacement - fuel quality in my country is very bad.

Pros: sorted misfire issue

Cons: fuel quality very bad

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 220000 km

Filter is a Mahle, it's the one from VW Parts Place, so I'm daring to assume it's ok

Pros: assuming it's ok
