My wife has a jetta TDI. It's a nice car, drives awesome, but maintainence is pricey (and frequent with the dsg auto, which I'm guessing you'd get since you're shopping Buick :P). We've also had a couple REALLY pricey repairs (might want to read up at tdiclub.com before buying).

That's one of the places I've been reading. And yes, the DSG auto would be in the vehicle. I gotta give credit where it is due, the Jetta TDI is one sweet ride, excellent acceleration and good cornering compared to the Buick.

It more function over form. Buick has hit some pretty sweet spots with the Verano and Encore. Relatively inexpensive, yet very luxurious.

....if you enjoy rental car type interiors.

What a poor choice, Lloyd. you could have been driving around in a beautiful BMW Cuv or even an Audi Q 5 for the same price, instead you opted for NA junk, that looks like it fell off an ugly tree and hit every single branch on its way down, with an abysmal reliability record to boot.

Utter bullshit on your part. Let's start.

The X1 Cuv cheapest on KBB.com cost $29K+

The cheapest Audi Q5 on kbb.com cost $39K+

Both prices don't include tax, destination fees or any other fee the dealer could think of.

My Verano cost $21K including destination fee, but not taxes.

The X1 Cuv has lower numbers than the Verano in most areas and is no better in the reliability ratings.

The Audi Q5 ranks higher except in reliability where it is the same as the Verano.

Both are essentially station wagons, which I wasn't interested in at all.

I save myself a hell of a lot of money by not waiting for you to tell me what to buy. Glad you didn't bother until after I bought.

What is wrong with Mac users? Are you oblivious to the term "value for your money?"

Nope, that's what I got. I got a $21K car that has the reliability rating of your $10K or more expensive fancy eurotrash crap!

You OTOH took a fucking!
