Bought new as a second car. In seven and a half years put on 42,000 miles. First thing went the batteries, little over two years old just after the warranty. Then the interior 'moving accessories', ashtray lid, broke twice, I don't smoke use it to keep change. Then the cup holder -terrible design every time I use it it feels that it will break. The wood trim and the shifter was next, new shifter over $180! Antenna and the rubber trim on it and around the base; need to remove the roof panel and the skylight to replace a $.50 gasket cost over 400 bucks! All the rubber trim is falling apart. Then the console mounting brackets broke, had that replaced for $370 Now a $3.5K bill for front end!
Nice car

The car drives well, plenty of performance and handling. Well designed and built solid, all of the whistles and bells come standard.

Reasonably Adequate / Leather Lacking

This vehicle replaced my 01 Jetta which was too small. I love the endless list of features, like the auto up/down windows, and rear window shade, but the leather in my car looked fake (my Honda Accord has better leather) On a long road trip in a Montana winter the heating fan went out, if it wasn't for the heated seats I would have froze to death.

A fantastic buy. Mine was one of the first 2001.5 "New" Passat delivered to the area. The 4 Motion has been a dream in the cold frozen tundra of NE Ohio during the winter months. No problems with the car and I have 62000 miles on it. I experienced minor damage to the car in a collision when a vehicle hit me at about 45 miles an hour... I came out without a scratch... I attribute the car with being able to take a huge hit and keep on ticking.
Where can I start
