What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the MINI Cooper

Price of the MINI Cooper: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Seems reasonably priced for a very sporty car
Price of the MINI Cooper: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 208hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 It is expensive compared to similar vehicles. The build quality is better so I guess that is what you are paying for.
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 No bargaining. Pricey with options
2006 2dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Looking at the current cost of an S, it is far less of a value then when I bought mine. A comparable car to mine has risen in cost by roughly $3K+. Today at 28k with options lsd, xenons, leather and a few babbles it simply is too dear.
2006 2dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Slightly overpriced compared to Civic, VW GTI, etc.
2005 2dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 The MINI is considered a "premium" car and the pricing reflects that.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Price of the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Add a few options and it gets very close to the $30k bracket which puts it in competition with some much more refined machines.
2010 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 Without the federal tax credit and state sales tax deduction, this car would have been almost out of our budget range.
