Would you marry a model that's high maintenance and gives you headache? ... Or the pretty girl next door type who knows how to take care of you and is reliable? ...

June 8th, 2018 12:48 PM #22Niche market kasi ang GTS compared to the Innova, but yes, considering it's discontinued, it will pretty much have a stable resale value. Basta maganda ang after sales and parts support ng Ayala. Pag nagka problema sa parts, saka babagsak kasi hindi tatagal ang buhay ng units pag walang mabilhan ng pyesa.
Kung resale value, Innova is king.

Oh common, bro, you'd know what everybody will reply to that. Unless you want to spend a ton of money with mods later on, you'd want someone beautiful in the first place.
Yung ugali puwede magbago, yung mukhang di ganun kadali. Hahahaha
Going back to topic, VW maintenance is not that expensive. Since the Golf GTS is on a 15k km or 12-month PMS cycle, you only have one trip in a year to the dealership. Despite the premium price but on average, our Jetta TDI racks up similar annual maintenance cost as a Honda or Ford or Subaru.

Yun lang talaga big question, will they bring in parts for discontinued models. But given TS will probably get rid of it in 5 years, I'm in the same boat as Egan and co. I'd rather enjoy the car while I'm using it than enjoy it when I sell it. To me the most expensive car is still the one you end up having but never wanted.

June 8th, 2018 04:38 PM #28The Jetta and Golf being sold here are US models sold since 2015, thus in terms of parts sourcing mas madali vs the other Euro brands.
Once owned an Opel Astra and maintained it even after GM dropped Opel and changed to Chevy. Nakakuha pa ako ng local parts sa Thunder Banawe (headlights/engine mounts/ignition coils). So parts sourcing, assuming malaki yung base nung model hindi mahirap.
Plus it's an Ayala company. Medyo conscious yan sa reputational risk so they will likely keep to their word na support nila yung mga discontinued models. I think matagal sourcing mga body parts and non-PMS items kasi manggagaling pa Germany or some non-Asian base.
Yun yung advantage ng mga bagong China VW models. Malapit lang source nung parts kaya mas mabilis.

My vote goes to GTS as well. Been enjoying one since the beginning of the year and for the price I can't (won't) find anything that comes close to its refinement, engine performance, looks, fuel thrift, and practicality.
It's too good I'd get a second one if I don't need to eat, LOL.

You make it sound like it's a choice between a Ferrari and a Toyota.
Parts will be available the question is whether you're willing to put up with price and timing if you source it from the dealer (if it's not a regular consumable part). Other options down the road is ordering and shipping from abroad. That's what's n
Although i'm generally a practical person, we're car enthusiasts for heaven's sake... Someone put it quite well before (can't remember who it was here on tsikot): Not perfect but hard to beat for what it offers at the price.
Kwento ng katrabaho ko, meron daw sya officemate dati na Italiano na tinanong daw bakit...
