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.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X5

Price of the BMW X5: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 BMW cost higher than other brand in the same class, except Porsche and Land Rover.
2008 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It was very hard to find one close to or under invoice. But the vehicle does retain a lot of residual value. I had to do a lot of research to find one at a decent price...but I did!
2007 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Overpriced relative to USA prices
2006 4dr SUV 315-horsepower 4.4L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I feel that the certified pre owned program from BMW adds much too high a cost to the vehicle. However, wife wanted from dealership, so we had to get from there.
2004 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 These can be pricey.
2002 4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 New price is enormous. 50,000+ I paid 15,000
