Used 1995 Volkswagen Passat Consumer Reviews
Great Sleeper
I bought this GLX w/ 111,500 miles. Currently has 135,000 clocked. I just did the clutch, I've had to do the waterneck and trunk lock. No trouble hitting 130 MPH. Average 27 MPG at 75-80 MPH highway. 22 City. Comfortable, Dependable, GREAT A/C. Only negs are the cup holder,body creak, and the VW DEALER, not the used dealer I bought it from. THis was VW # 6, Passat #1. Very happy so far. Still don't know why the sunroof closes when I honk the horn though.
Fantastic VW
This is currently my 3rd Passat. I just recently sold my 91 16v, and now i am moving on to a VR6. This car is a blast! It's solid it dosn't require a timing belt and no other repairs (VR6's are with a chain). Drives awsome but more importantantly it keeps my money where it should be, in my wallet not in the mechanic's pocket. If you aren't convinced on a VW then take one out for a drive i know i did, 6 years ago, and ever since i have been a VW man!
A FANTASTIC CAR !!!
THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST RELIABLE AND FUN CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. JUST BOUGHT 2002 PASSAT GLX.. BUT THIS '95 I WILL NEVER PART WITH
Good Bye Passat
I bought my 95 Passat 1 year old with 20K miles. At 43280 the engine had a compression problem, and was completely rebuilt by the dealer under an extended warranty. At 92114 the intermediary oil shaft broke and as a result the valves were bent and the dealer thought it would be cheaper to put in a rebuilt engine than try to fix it. They wanted $5700 to fix a car that was worth maybe $7000. Less than 4 weeks earlier I had paid the same dealer $1300 for a 90K service and various repairs (front window, serpentine belt, coolant flush, etc). My wife's Jetta's engine is being replaced (warranty) right now at 49K miles. These are all city/hwy miles (ie. no off roading, abuse, etc)
good cheap replacement car
i bought this car to replace my blazer that gave up the ghost, i've had alot of little electrical problems, a broken door handle, bad window motor, and some idle issues, but overall i like it, it needs work but ill fix the stuff and drive it another 170k
