Good article! I bought a 2010 Golf Comfortline wagon new. Since I only put around 15,000 km a year on my vehicle, I decided not to go for the TDI as I would never recover the extra 2,800.00+ tax in five years, especially here in NB where deisel fuel is more expensive year round. Of course, I expected the resale would be higher on the TDI, but not more than the original price differential, let alone $4,000.00 or even more. Also, I didn't like the turbo lag or the rough shifting DSG. So, I'm going to take a bit of a bath when it comes time to trade in a couple of years. Live and learn!
