I see your point but a new Jetta is a replaceable, fixable, safe car to put a kid in. At the price mentioned in the OP, depreciation and cost of ownership would be minimal. I get asked for car purchase advice a lot because I’m the “car guy” in my crowd, I always tell people that leasing a new Jetta or Carolla is a great choice for people who just need reliable transportation and don’t care about *cool factor* and the other stuff we car geeks care about.
