Lets talk about new vehicles

That Jetta is a steal
It has many Arteon bits for $24k

I could have purchased mine for $16,900 new in 2018 during the VW slump. But I opted for the cheap lease. Car has some MAJOR issues - along with the VW dealer - but it was a bottom of market Hecho en México.

Jetta had a proclivity to float and bottom out HARD on the highway and break rear springs on the commute to Beantown. The southeast expressway will expose flaws FAST and mercilessly.

Being in the spring business VW must be using low grade suppliers as the wire is junk and even top VW models creak and groan which indicates cheap wire with inclusions.. My experience...

I will say the turbo was fun with a stick and plenty quick around town.

I looked at Subaru. They were on my list. I was impressed with a lot of things but after driving one for half an hour my back was killing me. If it weren't for the seats I might have bought one.

I heard they changed the seats in the 2026...saw it on a video

I want to see what kind of MPG you can squeeze out of a Prius!
I would love to borrow one for a weekend to see if I could get it above 80 MPG

Those are actually a better deal over the Prius, even though they don’t get as good fuel economy. In Canada the Corolla hybrid starts at $31,000 while the Prius starts at $41,000. That extra $10,000 savings pays for a lot of fuel.

What about the Camry?

There is the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.
It uses the Toyota hybrid system.

The Ford Employee pricing is a scam... I was getting far better prices before especially on the big trucks.
