Replying to: navigator89 (Dec 10, 2005 12:14 pm) This title was created to provide a place for those few people who think the Passat is comparable and competetive with the Azera. It includes LaCrosse because it can be equipped to be similar in price, weight and purpose with the Azera and was ignored in the other discussions of Azera's competitors. The Lucerne was not named in the title for reasons explained in earlier messages here. Replies to this message: pat (Dec 11, 2005 5:27 am)

#56 of 93 Try the Buick LaCrosse by celica8 Dec 13, 2005 (6:15 am)
I think anyone looking for an upscale mid-size car should check out the Buick LaCrosse. VW is having some real reliability issues. Buick scores just under Lexus in reliability. For just about $30K you can get a fully loaded LaCrosse CXS. People need to get beyond that false image they may have of Buick of being an old person's car and go test drive it.

#58 of 93 Re: $34,660 MSRP Buick LaCrosse [celica8] by averigejoe Dec 13, 2005 (8:35 am)
Replying to: celica8 (Dec 13, 2005 6:15 am) Price, weight and similar V6 power of the LaCrosse makes it a closer competitor to Azera Limited than is the Lucerne. But adding the necessary options to the LaCrosse to make it as close as possible to the Azera Limited's standard equipment adds $3090 to the LaCrosse MSRP. Grand total $32,185. A fully loaded Lacrosse CSX MSRP is $34,660. Invoice is$31,297. That's according to Kelley Bluebook. And even then the LaCrosse has no memory seats, no front side air bags, no rear side air bags, and no cassette player. The Lacrosse, at 99 cu. ft. passenger volume, is much smaller than Azera's 107. The Azera's 2000 lb. towing capacity is twice that of LaCrosse. And the Azera bumper to bumper warranty is 5 yrs/60,000 miles instead of LaCrosse's 4 yr/50K. The Azera has 10 yrs/100,000 miles on the powertrain. The Azera Limited with the ultimate package is $29,995 MSRP.
#59 of 93 If safety is a consideration... by bjbird2 Dec 13, 2005 (11:49 am)
There are, today, two VW's, the Passat and Jetta that are "silver" rated as being crash worthy in the Insurance Institute's top 10 safest cars. -- as I recall, there aren't any other cars in this forum that made the cut.    Not even a Volvo made it to the list this time around. . . .

They did many very interesting technical tests to measure ride quality and handling, and although the Azera placed 3rd overall, it did quite well, and was the quietest of the bunch.    ~alpha Replies to this message:   • ctalk (Feb 04, 2006 5:15 pm)     • alpha01 (Feb 04, 2006 5:38 pm)       • ctalk (Feb 04, 2006 6:54 pm) and 3 more...

Replying to: fdcapt2 (Dec 06, 2005 7:11 pm) Yeah, I guess you are right. The Passat is not little. After all, it is as big as an Elantra inside. But it is heavy. Porky Passat. It weighs about the same as an Azera LX, which is a much larger car. (see post #36)

My neighbor bought his kid Tiburon and when the kid tried to trade it two years later it was worth nothing Replies to this message: ctalk (Feb 06, 2006 3:35 pm) averigejoe (Feb 06, 2006 3:50 pm) kingsalmon (Feb 06, 2006 8:47 pm)

Replying to: jimd4 (Feb 06, 2006 9:00 am) It depends on how long you want to keep the car. If you want to keep your car for 3-5 years, Hyundai might not be the best choice. But it may be possible that in those 3-5 years, the resale value will go up.
