Thanks, yeah all valid points. In fact my only hesitation on a golf is "everyone has one" which is a dumb reason.
The alcon calipers in the pug don't have the corrosion issue here in Aus. Because no salty wet roads. But, even non OEM replacements are spendy and require ordering months in advance. The solution is to use the '250' brakes... But why downgrade?
Yeah, the Hyundai will depreciate. But, the i30 N has held value very well. Australia loves Korean cars it seems.
Looks like the alcon calipers issue is that the pistons corrode when damp not just damp and salt and what people do is replace the pistons with stainless steel pistons so that helps the situation. Not a down grade if it is to get fully working brakes.
