So, after spending a couple weekends looking around, I think I've narrowed it down to a VW Golf Comfortline w/driver's and LED package in manual, a Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring also in manual, and Hyundai Elantra GT Sport Ultimate (DCT only, unfortunately). They all hover around $30k before taxes, fees, and extended warranties. The latter choice is there more for a baseline between the other two, more established options. Given the option, which would you opt for? Personally I'm leaning towards the Golf as it just seems to drive a little better than the other two and simply feels more solid. Typical German quality that I've been missing since my last VW. I'm curious about that 1.8T engine, however. How similar is it to the one that harks back to the MK4 generations? Any known issues with it? Same question about the Civic engine as well. Not familiar with that one at all.
