I've purchased my 2002 Passat in Nov. 2001. I loved the car "So i thought". the first week i had the car, one of the Headlights went out, 2 weeks later the fog lights went too, and more surprizes every month until last week when the ENG, EPC, and ASR light would all come on at the same time and the car would spuders,chokes, and stalls in the middle of traffic and had to restart it. The car has been at the Dealer ship's garage for four and still have no answer on what's causing the problem and how to go about repairing it. - suggestion to everyone -- Stay away if you can and buy the real thing, Audi, BMW, or Mercedes if you're in the market for a German car.

The only annoyance has been a sound in the right dash connection area that I haven't had fixed yet. Other than that its a good solid wagon.

We have always stuck to japanese cars but we decided to check out VW since our last experience buying a toyota wasnt too pleasant. After test driving this car we were sold! I always get compliments on how classy it looks. Our neighbors liked it so much they went and bought themselves one too!

The New Passat is just begging for someone to drive it. A pleasure to own. The only negative so far is the gas mileage in city driving. This car loves too be driven and is so spirited that you don't mine using premium gas. A quality auto at a bargain price.

We bought this car in March and we love it. We have had no problems at all with it. It does tend to burn a lot of fuel for the power you get, but that is the only complaint I can come up with.
