A lot of fun for your money

My wie and I have had this car for 3 years with no problems and a lot of fun. It is a great long distance traveller, very comfortable, plus it's very quick when you need it (merging in NJ ridiculous traffic, fighting your way through NYC). Car does not handle cold morning (anything below 0 degrees F) startups well -- you have to coax it a bit in the deep winter. It handles like a dream -- I can tell you, as a former Ferrari owner, well, no, it's not a Ferrari, but the 6 cyl GLS version is very agile for a sedan.

I've only had it for a year but now its developing a few issues. It seems that if these great VW ideas actually worked....it would be worthwhile The collapsing side mirrors failed to work, the door handles have always been a problem (even since the 95 passat!), the coil pack has again been a longstanding issue with problems, and the worst issue so far is an intermittent starting problem. I am forced to sell the car simply because its too costly to own. If this were an M3 then I could somewhat reationalize the cost of repairs

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.

No wonder Consumer Reports has picked this as the best car in its class for several years running. Quick as a Maxima, rated safer than a Volvo, quiet as a Camry, handles almost as well as a BMW and rides better. This is my first VW. I have owned Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, GM, Ford, and Chrysler. This car is the best.
