What I can say is owning Japanese cars aren't as cheap, and let me put that into perspective. Casa maintained lahat brand new na naging at kasalukuyang cars ko. Honda (sakit sa ulo, mahal din, regardless of the dealership Pasig, Magallanes, and another one I can't remember), my two Subaru cars are serviced MI only and I follow the recommendations and paid the price. I have received excellent service from MI all these years.
Yung Toyota (first car) was purchased second hand so hindi naka tikim ng casa yun, likewise the Nissan Sentra na laging sira ang suspension
Not my car, but the Mazda 3 Executive ng officemate ko pabalik-balik ng casa, laki nagastos suspension and rattle issues
I've spent zero (0) for my Peugeot 308 now about to turn two years old in 2018.
I don't have any expections yet on the Golf GTS, wala pa yung kotse eh.
