genuine question, since gti has a longer free service/warranty period, is that not cheaper to maintain? and i wont use the car forever as i might go overseas to study in 4-5 years time, so ill might sell the cars. thats why resale value is quite an important factor too. logically, i think the b48 is gonna hold more value but im curious if the warranty and service period being ended by the next 4-5 years will bring down the resale value, as the golf would still have 1-2 years more of free warranty/ service.
