I have already past that step...lol just wanted feedback, thanks though! I've got it covered...
 
  It is looking more in the favor of the Passat, I am getting I am getting $3,700 worth of incentives. Plus I am getting the car at invoice. So when comparing both Accord and Passat leases together, it really makes sense financially, and this incentive on the Passat is amazing! I really don't think I should pass this up, considering the Accord will not ever have an incentive like this for a long time, and when they do, it is certainly not going to be this soon in its deput and I have little miles left on my current lease. So,honestly, as much as I love the new accord, there are other great cars out there, this lease deal is much better financially and realistically for a lease, with the least money involved, and that is what it is all about.
 
Thank You!

I caught a dealer-manager who was pissed at his s sales staff.
He sold me a top of line Passat Wagon for $0.75 over invoice
LESS the VW hold-back costs.
 
My older Passat Wagon has had 3 Turbo pumps replaced by
VW. Keep the oil change records....it is important.

I'd have a hard time giving ANY money to a car brand who gave me that much trouble!

#1823 of 1839 Accord EX Vs Camry SE 2009 4 cylinder by ashwinkumar96

Oct 14, 2008 (8:16 am)

I am planning to purchase a new car and I am sort of confused either to choose camry or accord. Both have got the same features , price etc. I am looking at Accord EX Vs Camry SE. I have heard that seats in Accord are very uncomfortable, how far is it true? Is it very very uncomfortable. Also comapring the HP, its 155 for camry Vs 192 for Accord. I am planning to add in the package which includes moonroof etc in camry and inspite of that the price comes almost the same. Kindly help me in arriving at a decision.

#1825 of 1839 '08 Passat Komfort v. '08 Accord EX-L w/ Nav by ctozy

Oct 15, 2008 (5:06 pm)

Hi ladies and gents,
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
 
I am in the market for either a '08 Passat Komfort or '08 Accord EX-L w/ nav. Here are offers from dealers excl doc fee & tax:
* VW: $25,200
* Honda: $25,250
 
Passat rides great and the engine seems to effortlessly accelerate to 70 - 80mph on highway. Good brakes and comfortable interior design and space.
 
Accord rides pretty ok but engine revs higher at similar speed. It seems to require more effort to reach 70 - 80mph. Brakes are good and interior is roomy and simple. Nav is a good tool but its locale is somewhat odd and tough to see in sunlight.
 
What do you see as plus and minus for each car? I'm on the fence.

Assuming the Accord is the 4-cylinder, it has a history of much better reliability than Volkswagen models. The cost of maintenance will likely be lower on the Honda than on the VW also.

Okay, my mother has an 08 Jetta SE, She loves it! I love it! It is torquey. Gets decent mileage. Most of all, it is a fun car! This is her second lease, and have had no problems at all with them. The maintenance will be a bit higher, but really not too comparable. Now, realize the Accord is geared for more economy, and the Honda engine is awesome, but the VW engine is sportier, with the manual shift mode, and more torquey in the lower range. Both Accord and VW are great engines. I certainly think you cannot go wrong with either. The VW seems to hold its value quite well too.
 
Based on my review of the passat- i
Classy exterior- I love it! the cobalt blue is amazing!
Roomy interior- a little odd, but nice.
Door panels are a little plain, and plasticky. Hard looking.
weird seats, seemed too big, for me.
Drove amazing-strong pull.
 
I really liked the car, it was fun! The is what VW wants!
 
Other than the average interior, it is a very nice car.
 
The Accord:
Nice exterior- more conservative.
Sweet, classy interior fit and finish
Strong engine-geared for more economy, but still sporty enough.
Alot of dash buttons, some like it, some don't
 
I love it!
 
You simply cannot go wrong with either, drive what makes you happy! Ask yourself which gives you that! Then pick it. The new Passat CC is very sharp too. though only seats 4. I try to sneak in a drive in my moms 08 Jetta, and love it, I get wowed by the engine pull, I actually squealed the tires...lol I wasnt even trying to do it either. I was like WOW! It does have 5cyl. If I got a VW I would get the Jetta Wolfsburg with the 2.0T FUN FUN!!
