Used 2002 Volkswagen Passat Consumer Reviews
Best Car I have Ever Had
I bought my '02 Passat about 3 months ago and I am loving every minute of it. I have owned several cars in the last decade, but nothing even comes close to the ride and build quality of this amazing car. After I bought those cars in the past, I would grow melancholy with my purchase in just a few months, but not with this one, I still get out and look back as I am walking away. My only regret is that I did not get the leather (please do yourself a favor and get it). My suggestion to Toyota and Honda is to take a trip to Germany and see how these guys do it.
No complaints
This vehicle has been a pleasure to own. It still looks stylish and several of the cues are visible in the so called new styles today. It has been reliable and any check engine light issues were taken care of early on never to return. I would buy one again in a flash.

MY VW LEMON
I bought a new 2002 vw passat in April 2002.In August when I was driving with my baby the car started shaking and would not accelarate above 20MPH. My dealership said it was a defective ignition coil, they replaced it. On October 31st the same thing happened again with my baby in the car.Long story short today is November 20 and I still don't have my car back, yesterday they told me it would at least be another 2 weeks they are waiting for a new batch of ignition coils,they are all defective.Also radio had stopped working and front right speaker is cracked. So much for the premium audio package!
Mad Cool
Is what our 13-year-old son says about this car. It is absurdly fun to drive. It needs brighter regular headlights and its gas mileage is a bit disappointing, but these are cavils in an otherwise splendid car.
A Beautiful Car
This is, hands down, the best car I have ever owned. Fun to drive, tasteful styling, and more features than you can shake a stick at. Definitely get the GLX model if you like creature comforts. The Tiptronic system works like a dream, and is excellent for driving in mountainous areas, like I do (Colorado). I typically get 20/25 MPG, which is better than quoted, but still could be better.
