Good morning everyone. There's a chance I may be parting with my 2006 Accord so am starting to research replacements. Must be a sedan/hatch/wagon with a manual transmission, decent feature set, and would like a stronger engine (previous car was a Saab 9-5 Aero so the Accord's been a huge step down). Desired price in the mid teens.
GTIs (SE or Autobahn, don't want the base model) are the most common thing that show up on Autotrader etc, 2014-2016 with 45-70k miles typically. Anything worrisome about these cars? Reasons to target a specific model year over another? From what I've seen 2015 may have had a minor refresh so maybe target that year or newer. Problematic intake manifolds, intake valve deposits? Any suprisingly difficult basic maintenance tasks? Odd tools required to work on it?
