  ....and that warranty on the Saab is the most likely to be needed. ;)

  Of the three the Saab would have the longest warranty at this point, and its a lot of fun to drive.

  I own a O6 tsx with 6MT and nav. The only difference with it and the 07 is the tpms on the 07. I bought my tsx new 11/06. It now has almost 120,000 problem free miles. Excellent car

  Ive been looking for a new car for a few months and I have narrowed my search down to these three cars. I was wondering if people on the forums had any opinions about which one I should choose. Any input would be appreciated.

  Fair enough... Leasing any car with that price tag is cost prohibitive these days... My wife has a 2003 Passat that she loves. We did a comparison with the new Passat while her car was getting an oil change. The new Passat was bigger, with slightly more room than her 2003. The interior, although nice, definitely looked like it was a victim of VW's bean-counters, as the materials didn't seem as ... Read More

  Cool responses, thanks. Actually, I was at the VW dealer for 3 hours last night test driving the GTI and standard Jetts. I love the GTI's power, but there is something in the setup of the seating that gives me some neck strain - not sure if the GLI's setup is any different, but I will be test driving the GLI tomorrow. The Beamer is pretty much off my list - ... Read More

  Both excellent cars indeed. I disclose my opinion as biased having purchased a 2007 GLI in July 2007. Of any car of purchased and most I've driven (27/M/Midwest), this is certainly the best balance I've found in performance, fit & finish quality and cool factor. The new car enjoyment has not yet worn off for me either. If considering a 335 the BMW would easily be the winner (financial matters aside). ... Read More

  Guys, I'm considering a few cars and need some input. First, I will be leasing this vehicle - yeah, I know the horror stories but for me it makes sense. Who wants to spend anywhere from 25000-40000 on a car and have to pay on it for 7 years??? Why not wait for year-end lease deals where you can lease a vehicle for a little more than the car is depreciating ... Read More
