That plus compensation (rumored to be 5000$) will have me doing the math - I may profit in the buy-back scheme, which will lead to a new car search So to honor forum rules, I have to pick between a Golf R, Miata or Crosstrek.Local dealer has 36 TDIs in inventory - all dealers have been storing them locally.If you do profit from the buyback scheme, would you buy another VW?The 2016 Golf CL fixes the one thing I'd like to fix on mine: sound. The Fender stereo is now optional (HL exclusive in 2015), and nav + keyless access are now part of the pkg. Considering my new set of winter shoes and FloorLiners, another VW would be in the running, yes. Creative emissions engineering or not, it's still a stellar machine.What about stepping up to a GTI? Especially if they are "sympathetic" on the pricing?I completely get the appeal of staying with another Golf, it's a great vehicle and if you've already got a bunch of accessories you can transfer over...

Why are you assuming you get more money for owning the car for less time?2. I wouldn't make any assumptions for what in Canada based on what happens in the U.S.
