If you treat it right, the vw will outlast the Honda easily. If you're not going to be able to keep up with oil/ fluid/ dsg/ fuel filter etc... then you should get the Honda.

You may want to perform a fuel pressure test at idle and 2000rpm. If you havent done so already, replace the fuel filter.
The car has 220k km on now, and VW has had to replace the high pressure fuel pump twice (2019 and 2021), and the in tank fuel pump once while dealing with random misfire issue that has since been sorted by yearly fuel filter replacement - fuel quality in my country is very bad.
finished running the fuel lines too the rear and mounted the fuel filter housing with a new filter
At 100k miles it is time to replace the fuel filter. It is pretty easy to do, just pay attention to how the hoses release by pushing in at certain spots on the connector to not break them.
go to any auto shop and ask for a fuel filter for a seventies Volkswagen beetle.
For my TDI it's literally just a standard oil change, and then fuel filter every 20k miles. Hardly an additional burden.
i did add a dipstick fuel filter looked to be newer, plausible considering the somewhat recent pump and injector service, but figured "while im in there..."
New stuff i attended to. checked cleaned and pull apart the Warm up regulator. Was not clogged or dirty. worked fine. replaced the fuel filter, which i did notice was a little crummy. but normal.
I never had anything suspicious looking in any of my fuel filter changes on our 2012 JSW... always looked perfectly clean. HPFP failed without warning at 91k.
