What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi A3
| Price of the Audi A3: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volvo XC90
| Price of the Volvo XC90: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
We only had about 13000 to spend, otherwise maybe we would have bought an Acadia. |
| Price of the Volvo XC90: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
high msrp, dealer not wanting to deal. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The luxury is pricey. It is you who has to find the balance. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Prices on New cars are very high, and Factory Maintence is ludicrous prices. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
It is a VERY nice car, and you will pay for it - though sometimes you can find a good deal, but it will take effort. |
