    I guess you didn't see the long list of features that VW has on the 2010 Passat that don't appear on the base models of competitors. So one could say that long list of features is what the other automakers "took out" to sell their mid-sized sedans starting at $20k. (Also consider what the it costs for a turbo Sonata or Optima--they charge a premium for that engine over the base ... Read More

    On further reflection, here's some other things VW might have taken out of the base NMS to bring the starting price down to ~$20k. All of these are standard on the 2010 Passat sedan, which lists at $27k: - 6-speed Tiptronic (almost all other mid-sized family cars charge extra for an AT) - 17" alloy wheels (no competitors have 17" alloys standard; very few have any kind of alloys standard) - ...

    Have you driven the R350? It is big & heavy, with a large turning radius, and, IMO, not that great visibility. I'll let current owners comment on the reliability of their VW wagons, but neither is likely to come without issues. The difference with the VW is that you'll have the full warranty to start with.

    Actually, while (according to CR) the reliability of the Passat is one notch below that for the Mazda3, the VWs that are actually comparable are rated equal to or better than the Mazda3. In the April 2010 CR, the Golf 2.5 gets a full red circle, the highest reliability rating. The Jetta 2.5 gets a half red circle, the same as the Mazda3.

    Hi visanic. This particular discussion is about the Passat, not the CC (though they are similar). I'll give you some quick advice here and ask that you post any follow-up questions about the CC over in the "Volkswagen Passat CC Lease Questions" discussion. Thanks. The best way to get a good deal on the CC that you are interested in is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on ... Read More

    That's $1935 UNDER invoice on a 2010 model. How did you manage that? Didn't think there were any extra incentives on the 2010 models yet. Did you wind up leasing it?

    udayg, $200 over invoice sounds great. I'm hoping to get my sedan somewhere in that range. Stevens Creek seems like the typical car dealer. I'm kind of avoiding them. I haven't been to Capitol yet, but I didn't like what I heard over the phone when I called there. Good VW dealers in the bay area aren't easy to find. DynoSpotRacing is a terrific shop, very able and honest. They're near ... Read More

    It does look like a decent deal. However, the Doc fee is high and the only fee truly required is the destination fee. Other fees are applied via the dealership. I have never paid a doc fee when I have leased 3 cars. If there is a doc fee, I understand the dealer needs some money, but $205 is really high. But, I would hate for the dealership to lose a ...

    As for Ford's SUVs, yes, the Outback is now more directly against the Edge than it was before. Honda has nothing directly comparable to the Outback. The CR-V competes with the Forester, and the Pilot is an 8-passenger SUV. How different are these in real life? You don't think people who look at an Outback would cross shop the CRV, or the Pilot or Odyssey for that matter? Anyway... how many ... Read More

    The Passat is and was not a direct competitor of the Outback, as the Passat doesn't offer AWD. As for Ford's SUVs, yes, the Outback is now more directly against the Edge than it was before. Honda has nothing directly comparable to the Outback. The CR-V competes with the Forester, and the Pilot is an 8-passenger SUV. As for the Audi A6 wagon.... it starts at $53k. Which puts it in ...

    It sounds decent -- not great because leases are not great anymore. I didn't do it my first lease but most would advise you to roll those taxes into the payment. Keep the $ in the bank and walk away almost zero down. You will pay no money for maintenance or repairs and at the end you can decide if you like it enough to buy. Have you run the numbers ...

However when I go to the build a car option on the VW. ca website there is no wagon available for either the golf or jetta. The only wagon available is the PASSAT and under TDI the only vehicle listed was a Tiguan. Any tips from the list. Looking around the ... Read More

    Hi thumb72. VW Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Passat Wagon Komfort with 12,000 miles per year are .00020 and 41%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Passat Sedan are .00072 and 43%, respectively. Volkswagen is currently providing a $2,000 cash incentive on leases of these vehicles.

    Thanks for the info. Had to look up DSG and it sounds cool (love manual trannies). VW's history with electrical malfunctions combined with the newness of the technology would worry me. However, the electrical assist steering worked great and I really liked it the '06 Passat and I like the same steering even better on the '09 CC. Dan

    1) Honda Accord EX and Up: I just find the design to be very very attractive...almost stately looking. In pics it looks disjointed but in person the Accord IMO as a presence that can't be matched in this class. I Love the front end treatment. Taillights could use some touching up (LEDs) but otherwise I think its the best. 2) Tie: Chevrolet Malibu 2LT and LTZ and Saturn Aura XR4 and ... Read More

    VW has had a bad reputation in reliability for the longest time. As for made-in Vietnam VW - it doesn't exist yet - VW has only begun signing paper to invest in a manufacturing plant in Vietnam. Not until 2010 will we start seeing VW produced in VN. As bad as VW is now, VN-produced VW can only see improvement.
