Car decision

Let us start with the engine the high pressure fuel pumps go out on them the timing chain tension-er's fail and the valves hit the pistons then game over. The earlier dsg transmissions like that one the dual clutches go out and mech units what the transmission uses to shift fail. Those items are all big dollars also I some point the rear lower control arm bushings tear. If those have not been done then it is about due for them. Also, the valve cover leaks it is expensive to reseal. The water pumps leak a lot on them and the pump itself is all plastic and expensive just for the part. Also it is common for the intake valves to carbon up and cause miss fires then the valves have to be clean that is a expensive service. The transmission fluid gets changed every 40,000 miles and that is not cheap. I would stick with your civic.
