I own a 2009 Sportwagen with 125K. It’s been as reliable as any Japanese car I have ever owned but the routine maintenance is expensive. Fuel filter every 20K. DSG service every 40K. I average around 36-38mpg so the cost of maintenance and the cost of diesel dont really add up to any great savings. I love the car but…

The Tacoma is cheap? Maybe in 1999.... Here in NC a used 2015 Base Tacoma is fetching almost 33 grand.
