The paint fumes have cleared so I'm
We just bought a '21 VW Jetta. The '17 Nissan was a lease, and its' time was up.
The Nissan was good on gas, though the 2.0L was a bit of a slug unless you really put your foot in it.
The Jetta, though... the 1.4L turbo feels like a rocket! Even the intitial off the line feel is very peppy, and the mileage is much better than the Nissan.
Of course, the VW feels much more substantial then most everything we test drove... there's nothing like quality Euro cars!
Interestingly enough, the monthly insurance premiums dropped $30/month.
Finance payments are more than the monthly lease payments.
But, I don't think we'll be doing our own maintainence on the VW. I doubt most people are even remotely capable of doing that anymore...

depends on the engine really more than anything
this lil 07 yaris she bought new before we met, and quite honestly the things build better than most new cars ive been around and worked on, and yet, its as simple as a 70s corolla..all the way down to having a timing chain
average life span on them is into the 400,000 mile club..weve run 169k kilometers
still pisses me off that when she moved down here..she managed 41mpg fully loaded and hauling a HF 4x8 trailer fully loaded down..i cant pull bettter than a 38 on my bike!
