1. Most people don't cross shop between the BMW 3-series and the VW Jetta.
2. The Jetta and the 3-Series are in an entirely different class--that's why the 3-Series costs more.
3. Yes the ///M Coupe has its problems, such as leaky rear windows... but its a limited production car, not a mass-produced car. *Every* car maker has its problems. Even Honda, even Porsche, even BMW, and even VW. The hood on my mom's '99 Integra had to be repainted because it had a flaw in the paint -- Honda didn't clean the acid wash off the hood properly.
4. Can't we all just get along?

"$%#$in' German cars!"

: FROM VWOA Site:
: Base MSRP $24170
: Destination Charge $525
: Technical
: Transmission 4-speed automatic transmission, adaptive $875
: Emissions California Emission Requirements $100
: Northeast Emission Requirements $100
: Interior
: Radio/Audio 6-disc CD changer See Dealer

: You are right, with added automatic (yikes!) the MSRP is $25k. My bad. What features does it miss? I certaintly has luxury items such as real leather, trip computer, power seats, auto wipers, self dimming mirrors and heated seats.

: I also apologize for posting about a sedan on this board. Didn't realize I was on the Z3 board when I read the original post.
: As for the "feels much better" arguement, I was only comparing real attributes, not subjective opinions.
: As for "superior engineering" I've read enough posts here to realize that BMW has just as many problems with their cars as any other manufacturer. From the M3 trans. issue to leaky rear window washers.
: I think every manufacturer should "COPY" the driving event idea. Competition between manufacturers can only produce better cars.
: And yes, I've been in an M-coupe and am in the market for one now. I just think the 3 series, again for the money and average driver, isn't worth it.
