Used 2000 Volkswagen Passat Sedan Consumer Reviews
passat lemon
I have driven this car for two years, gives a superb drive, lots of room and easy to handle. I have had continual problems with the radiator, engine leaks, ball joints, rotors, and overall engine problems. Gas mileage is poor. Car is just unreliable.
Passat is mediocre
VW uses very low quality materials. Interior peices wear very fast (especially door handle coatings). Check engine light is always on. Tie rods and control arms, oil system, sensors, vacuum hoses are major problems you will likely encounter with this car.

Fun when it runs
I loved this car when I bought it. But, when the repairs started, they never stopped. It spends most of the time these days in the shop. The repairs over the past year include $900 turbo, $500 timing belt, $650 coolant feed line (dealer), $600 struts and many other $200+ repairs. I can't even sell it because of other repairs that need to be made to it. It's a piece of junk. I wish it wasn't because I really liked this car. I will never buy another VW. Never.
Love My Passat
I love my Passat. It has great handling, and is fun to drive. It gives you the feel of a sporty car with the utility of a 4-door sedan.
It has been a GREAT car!
I designed my Passat online and waited for it's arrival across the pond. It has been totally reliable -- never any problems...now 70,000 miles later. I own it and a MINI. Love em both.
