It sounds like you will always wonder if you made the right choice. Over the last 7 years, (according to fuelly) I paid $0.09 per mile over 110,000 miles. My friend has a gti and logged $0.13 per mile over 80,000 miles. $0.04 x 110,000 miles is $4,400. Over the car's lifetime would be at least $8,800 saved by going with a TDI over a GTI on fuel.
The fuel economy is a pretty big deal when you save $8,800 on fuel from an $18k car. I wanted a fast car in college. Now I'm a dad of 2, I don't care about going fast like I used to. I know I made the right decision for me. Kids are expensive and I'm glad I'm paying less at the pump. what you want now may change as you get older. Either way, get what you want and don't look back or you will always live in regret.
