The price reflects the Americans peoples perception of poor reliability. $ 21, 000 is not cheap. $14, 500 would be.

Loooking at the available compact wagons to replace my '02 Passat GLS wagon, the prices floored me. But, the new Jetta wagon comes in at just $21,000 for the base model.



Looking at the features list, it's got all the bells and whistles of my Passat and more. Other than size, it's a perfect match.



So, what have they done to keep the price so low?
