I hope this VW treats me well because i think i will lose all faith in VW if this GTI causes me pain!
Indeed. The Mark VI price seems pretty keen so depreciation will not be huge in the first couple of years.

It certainly comes down to budget, but all things being equal, I would rather suffer higher depreciation than pay higher running costs.
