Used 2000 Volkswagen Passat Sedan Consumer Reviews
Good car overall, bad interior
I door cards or interior of the doors are junk sagging fabric looks bad. The glove box broke. I had to do a lot of preventive maintenance like water pump / timing belt coolant flange, coolant flange, coolant thermostat, wheel bearings. the fuel pump also when out along with the axle shaft (cv axle ) the engine has no oil sludge issues ( you need to change the oil regularly people!

Great long-term vehicle!
I bought my manual trans V6 Passat almost 10 years ago and have to say it's been a great car overall. There have been few unexpected repairs but the repairs I have had to make have been expensive. The car has a peppy V6 engine that gets great gas mileage (low 30's on the highway). My wife describes my Passat as "smooth in every aspect". I've been happy with the quality of the engine and body. The interior controls have a quality feel but many of the buttons, knobs and cupholders have failed or begun to become unreliable. Overall the positives of the vehicle far out way it's issues and I hope to drive my Passat for many more miles!

A Living Nightmare!!! Beware
Probably the worst car ever!! Will never ever buy a VW again. It had low miles but already had transmission, engine problems. oil and power steering fluid were leaking. car had smoke coming out of the engine. wobbled while driving on the highway and drank gas as if i was driving a 14 cylinder car. i must have read almost every review about this car and saw that almost every car has a least 89-100 thousand miles on it.i should have never bought this junk. Please buyers think twice before purchasing this car
I love my Passat!
This is a one-owner car with a manual transmission and regular and prompt servicing for its lifetime. A wonderful car. Great handling, power (and it's a 4-cylinder) engine. Driven regularly in the Rocky Mountains.
