Reviews SummaryYou’ve probably heard the average American can no longer afford a new car. That’s not true. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median household income in the United States is nearly $75,000, putting a new 2023 Volkswagen Jetta within the reach of many people. Granted, big SUVs, giant pickup trucks, muscular performance cars, envy-inspiring luxury vehicles, or high-tech electric cars may not fit most budgets. But when you need a new set of wheels, the appealing 2023 Jetta is remarkably affordable and versatile. | |
Reviews SummaryWant a basic but stylish car? How about a hybrid, or even a plug-in hybrid? What about an undeniably luxurious sedan, or a genuine sports sedan? The 2018 Ford Fusion lineup has them all, ranging in price from just over $22,000 all the way up to just under $44,000. | |
