2016 Mini Clubman Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Though a smaller, less powerful car, the Mini Cooper Clubman's $24,950 base price tops the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen S's by $2,550. Add automatic transmissions (standard on the GSW above the S) and similarly load both cars up and the Clubman lists for $4,415 more, $37,200 vs. $32,785. Keep in...

2016 Volkswagen Golf SportsWagen Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Equipped with the aforementioned $1,495 Driver Assistance Package and the $995 LED headlights, the tested 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen SE listed for $30,335. A Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring with its optional tech packages (but without AWD) lists for $32,125. A little more, but you also get some additional features, most... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Mazda CX-5 |
2015 Kia Soul EV Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh I've already picked on the worst aspects of the 2015 e-Golf, its infotainment system and its prosaic styling. The worst aspect of the Soul EV is less evident. As we'll see, it doesn't drive as well as the e-Golf, but it still drives pretty well. I'm left with price....

2015 Volkswagen Golf R Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The 2016 Volkswagen Golf R starts at $36,470, nearly $1,000 more than the Subaru WRX STI. But it includes about $1,500 in additional standard features. Adjust for these, and the two cars are priced similarly, with a slight value advantage to the VW. The new model year's Golf...

2015 Volkswagen e-Golf Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh With the obvious covered, now for the far from obvious: Volkswagen has priced the e-Golf very aggressively. I didn't initially realize this, as the top-trim e-Golf SEL Premium lists for $36,415, just a few hundred less than the $36,775 Soul EV+, which includes some luxury features not available in...

2015 Mini Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Compared to other small hatcbacks (most or which remain larger than the enlarged Hardtop), the Mini costs considerably more. The Cooper Hardtop 2 Door starts at $21,550. Add $3,400 for a fourth cylinder and $1,000 for a second set of doors to arrive at the base price of the new...

2015 Subaru WRX Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh As high-performance all-wheel-drive cars go, the Subaru WRX is inexpensive. But that doesn't mean it's inexpensive, with a $27,090 starting price. Add $2,200 for the Premium trim level, which includes a sunroof, heated seats, fog lights, illumination for the visor mirrors, and a demure rear spoiler. Add another $1,500 for...

2015 Volkwagen GTI Review plus TDI Preview Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Golfs, and especially GTIs, have tended to be expensive compared to other mainstream compacts. But Volkswagen wants to sell far more cars in North America, so it has added content while holding prices steady, or even cutting them. The 2015 GTI's $25,815 base price is $100 below the...

Hidden gem for the right price, CPO 2012 Golf R AWD performance hot hatch 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member1788 We would not have bought this car new -- the MSRP starts at about $35K and goes up from there but being a CPO we avoided the 1st year depreciation plus a bit and this made it almost equivalent to others we were looking at. VW's (other than some of... |

A classy and refined European compact 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5501 I mentioned earlier that the Golf is still assembled in Wolfsburg, Germany, and hasn't been moved to any of VW's new world plants. This might be a mark in its favor vis-à-vis quality control, but the Euro-dollar exchange rate is not your friend on this model. 18K is a steep... |

Still happy with Golf TDI after first 5,000 miles 2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3466 The TDI was more than $7,000 cheaper than a Golf R. You have to really want the R to pay the premium. I wanted it more than my wife did. Guess who won? Three months later, I'm very happy with the economy but feeling no pain... |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4141 There are many other similarly sized cars that cost much less. The extra cost gets you the better handling, faster engine, and higher quality interior. |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4273 For the amount of standard equipment (ESP, 6-speed tiptronic, 170 hp engine), it is actually cheaper than a similarly configured Honda Civic or even Fit. Great value for money. |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3907 Like any European import, be prepared to pay for maintenance. It's not cheap, but the alternative of fixing a major problem is even worse. Thankfully, VW is now recommending service only at 10k intervals for oil and minor filters, with major service every 40k, so the hit to the... |
