I need information on what would be cheaper car to run and maintain for a family of 5 and a dog. I have narrowed down the choices to 2 Japanese imports: Toyota Wish 18S X Limited edition, 2010, 73000km and $11000 and the
Volkswagen Golf Variant 1.2 Blue Motion, 2012, 90000km, $8000
I would appreciate your advise on what would be the better vehicle

Hi there,
We recommend the newest and safest vehicle that your budget allows. Technical and safety information is often unavailable for Japanese imported vehicles so you will need to look into what each vehicle has and balance it against your "must haves". Statistically the Toyota would be reliable, and the VW might have more safety items but could require more $ for repair/maintenance as it ages.
