YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 You get a full size class interior and quality materials at a reasonable (for european vehicle) price.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 You get(LUXE) MUCH more for the same as a base A4. VW also has incentives rarely matched.
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Found price to be $3000 to $4000 less than comparable wagon with comparable room.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 lease payments are low
2007 4dr Wagon 280-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 optimal price/features ratio
2002 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This car was three years old. It was near the cutoff mileage where VW’s CPO would not cover the car. And it was priced to sell at 3K less than similar cars on the lot. If it had not sold that week it would have been sent to auction.
Price of the Volkswagen Passat: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 too expensive
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Passat is a little more expensive than other cars.
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 My turbo four cost $26,000 with just rear side air bags, heated seats and floor mats as options. About $3500 over a similar Camry and Honda four.
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Price is higher than a comparable Japanese car like an Accord or Camry, although the Passat does pack way more features and the base Passat is much better equipped than the base Accord or Camry.
2006 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 4 motion is very $$$
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Price a little on the high side becasue dealer does not compete in the Canadian market, it was sort of buy it or leave it. No incentaives like the US.
2004 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 so many options that add to sticker price
2004 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Passats just got too expensive for the common folk Handling was good but everything else was a joke.
2003 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.8L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The Passat is more expensive than other cars when new but you are paying for quality.

Price of the Toyota Camry: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 It was lease takeover. $149mo. for 11 months with a $13.3 buyout/resell
2009 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 One of the biggest reasons for buying the Camry is that Toyota offers a disability reinbursment where they will pay for adaptive equipment added to the car. Now my wife will be able to drive. The Altima did not offer this.
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The 2007 Camry SE V6 is a great compromise between luxury, performance and affordability.
2002 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 This car was a Hertz rental car. It was a very good price with a good warranty.

2011 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Why pay more for less?????
2009 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 If I have to get same features on Camry (which I got on accord), I have to spend above 30k + APR also will be high.
2008 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Expensive
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6

2007 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Price too high and dealer would not deal.
2007 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid

2007 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 I was able to get a much better deal on the Accord.
2007 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 ~$30,000
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
