Bought this car brand new. Hands down the absolute worst car I have ever had. Had constant electrical problems (call would just cut out whenever) and of course brake problems. VW doesn't recommend the timing belt change until 105,000 miles. The engine went at 84,000 miles because the timing belt snapped. Needless to say, I was glad to sell this to a scrap yard and walk away with $1000 cash. I practically kissed the ground the day I parted ways with this junker. Never will I consider any VW product again.
Love my Passat but...........

I love to drive my Passat. It's roomy comfortable and looks great! However....I have had nothing but problems with this car from the first month. The service is indescribable! Everyone from the GM to the Repair dept. is rude. They actually stole 6 cd's from my trunk while installing my new CD changer (after giving me a used one when I payed for a new one) and denied everything. Told me I probably left the CD's at home!! It's been a horrible experience. As we speak the car has been in the shop for over a week to get front tie-rods. This was the final straw..I'm putting it up for SALE right away. Hellloo HONDA PILOT!

Fun, reliable, safe, comfortable... this car has everything its competators don't. It has all of the features of more expensive cars for much less.
Passat V6 is wonderful

Wonderful car. Has met my expectations in every way. A performance sedan that is fun to drive - all for a reasonable price. I recently upgrade from the OE tires (Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus, 195 width) to Bridgestone Potenza RE950s (205 width) and the car handles better than ever.
Glad to have it

I bought the car new and now have 66K mi on it. Overall, I'm rather satisfied with it. Did not have problems others reported (or maybe not yet). Major out- of pocket expense was $400+ brake job (rotors needed to be replaced), which I think was a bit excessive. Minor out-of pocket expenses included: replacing power mirror knob ($120), which somehow got broken (can't figure out how), and a new engine temp sensor (similar amount). Changed O-ring during maint service. Before I bought the car, dealer had to fix a water leak. Rear window motor was replaced under warranty. Windshield was a stone magnet; replaced it twice. Must change original tires soon.
