Used 2000 Volkswagen Passat Sedan Consumer Reviews
38 MPG at 144k miles - no BS
4-cyl turbo w/5-speed manual. This car is like the energizer bunny. My wife can squeeze up to 40 mpg on the highway, consistently, My huge frame fits in it comfortably The trunk is immense.
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.

Couldn't Be Happier
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.
Great all-around car
The Passat GLX is a great all-around car. It has excellent handling with the 16" wheels, and very good acceleration with the 2.8L V6. The GLX trim has luxury car amenities such as automatic temperature control, power seats, power moonroof, and heated seats. The car is extremely fun to drive, especially with the 5-speed manual. The build quality is also much better than the VW's of the past with virtually no defects in the almost two-years I've had the car.
Bluefrog reviewes the Passat
The most striking feature is how effortless the car is to drive. I am always confident that the car will go precisely where I want it to go. After 45,000 miles, I have had no problems, and even at 80 mph, I get 30+ mph.
