Solid Car, Fun to Drive

I've had this car for 3 years and have no problems with it to date. The manual transmission is smooth and fun to drive and it is an extremely comfortable ride for all my passengers. Skip the $$ recommended 40,000 mile tune-up at the dealer and take it to a local mechanic instead. I saved $300 by taking it to a good mechanic who only did the necessary fixes(sparkplugs). Great Car.

Nice Ride

This has been a great wagon. Plenty of power, smooth ride, and comfortable. I have not had any reliability issues in the first 24,000 miles. Has never been back to the dealership for anything. Nice sound system (monsoon) and paint job. Fit and finish is excellent I really like the heated seats. (*Get the V-6 if you can afford it. The gas mileage is about the same as the smaller turbo and has noticeably more torque when climbing hills under load.)

I could have bought a 911 turbo by now with all the repairs. VW Audi in general always bottom of reliability lists. Now i know why

I reviewed my Passat in Oct '04. I loved my car & was incredibly sad when I was finally forced to trade her @ 110K miles. I wanted to drive her to 250K! Smooth ride, quick acceleration, excellent braking, tight turning radius, style-a beautiful combination of performance & design. The exterior & interior still looked nearly new. Truly a well built car. So why did I trade such a wonderful car? Your can't license a vehicle in St. Louis with Check Engine Light codes. The dealer was unable to correct the emissions issue for 2 years. Additional repairs would START at $4000 (pre-cats, gas tank & lines). VW refused to help though some issues were under recall! VW lost a loyal customer!

After a few initial glitches (covered by used car warranty) my Passat has been great. Very solidly built, stable ride, very quick.
