What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Volkswagen Touareg
| Price of the Volkswagen Touareg: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 310hp 4.9L V10 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range | At $72,000, it is not an SUV for the masses. VW only sells about 400 of the diesels per year in the states. There is a reason...it is a $20,000 upcharge for the diesel. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range | The price for a new Touareg puts it quite out of the reach of most SUV buyers. The higher the price the higher the payment. Though for that high price you do get an awesome warranty and vehicle once all of the glitches have been addressed under warranty. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Toyota Matrix
| Price of the Toyota Matrix: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 123-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | The Matrix price represents good value for the features and quality. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Lease payments were very low. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | In the summer of 2007, I bought this car from a Lincoln-Mercury dealership that had taken it in trade - for $8,995. The car was (and still is) in excellent condition. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | It was pretty cheap to buy - $8000. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Climate control & stereo system in base model. Rear wipers and defrost should be standard. Rear window becomes translucent with heavy rain or snow, which can be cleared easily by 1-3 wiper cycles. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | The Matrix was an affordable car. At the time, there were very few options under $20k that met all our needs. |
| Price of the Toyota Matrix: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | Price was $3000 more than the Elantra after the options were added. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Price was a little higher than I wanted but i guess you pay more for quality. |

| 2006 | 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
This car is German throughout. Everything in the car is high quality. Straight seams and panels. No squeaks |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
Interior materials are excellent. Real wood trim, brushed aluminum accents and etc. make for a top quality experience. Fit and finish is excellent as well. Overall feel of the Touareg is very solid without rattles ans squeaks. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
Superb quality. All the steel parts are high quality steel ... unbendable. The leather is best quality I have ever seen ... rugged, but still soft. The ergonomic engineering is like those people were inside my mind! |

| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Solid. Good workmanship. I also like the plastic floor in the cargo area, which is easy to clean after transporting a muddy dog. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Feels solid and of a high quality |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Toyota Matrix: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Uninspired and the options when going from S to the XRS only seemed to focus on the musical components and tire profiles. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
rattles, from the first day. quality of workmanship and assembly was so poor. car was vibrating on idle like an old tractor. tried to fix the rattles - it was impossible. the dealer was useless and helpless as well. miserable car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
low quality plastics. rattles from the first day of ownership. low quality material of steering wheel - becomes very cold during the winter. low quality fabric on chairs. very cheap and unsuitable OEM tires. car is shaking on neutral like crazy. :-( |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Cheap paint chips way too easy on front bumper and hood. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 173-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Rattles galore on the interior. Car body was assembled incorrectly and resulted in a rubbing noise that required Toyota to cut out and replace entire A pillar from roof to rocker panel. Got rid of the car after as the warranty expired due to this issue. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The interior is lined by a softish plastic; easily scored, marred, and scratched. However, for the cheap material, the trim and fit is tight. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 180-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
it was sloppily put together at the factory and was never a pleasant car to be in. Chrome bits on the dash were blinding. |
