What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Price of the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Add a few options and it gets very close to the $30k bracket which puts it in competition with some much more refined machines.
2010 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 Without the federal tax credit and state sales tax deduction, this car would have been almost out of our budget range.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi A3

Price of the Audi A3: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual AWD		 Expensive for the size of the car. I would expect a few more luxury features to be standard for the base price.
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 The price is high for an Audi. And if you want anything optional, well, there you go.
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 reatively expensive car
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Pricing was actually higher for a lesser equipped A3 than for the Passat Komfort wagon.
2007 4dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		 Not for the faint of heart.
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 The A3 is not priced too competitively. It is much less expensive than a BMW 1 series, but still high for a compact/hatchback. Well equipped it is nearly as much as an A4. A loaded VW GTI (same chassis/drivetrain) costs much less, but insurance is higher.
2006 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 A3 is expensive.
