After seeing all the new vehicles in the auto show in Philly and test driving the picks, VW Passat is the best choice. The interior and build quality is much better than all the Japanese. Tiptronic and trip computer are such fun. Now I understand why Ward's Auto World has chosen this engine in between the best 10, Edmunds has chosen Passat as "the best premium sedan" and a "best buy" by Consumer Guide. I used to have a VW Golf which is a great car also, but this car is better. The only problem now I have is I will not be able to buy any other brand. VW AG makes the best cars...

First, only 28 days after I take the car home, its radio/stereo/cd suddenly stop working, it won't even power up, will have to bring it back for repair. And with a 180Hp engine, I thought its acceleration would be much better; this baby can't even compete with my 2001 Civic LX (115hp); and the acceleration pedal is too close to the side wall, so if you have a fair size feet, you have to squeeze it in there.

I moved in to this car from a 1996 Infiniti I-30, primarily for the safety features. Very comfortable right, tight handling, all the features of a luxury vehicle. It stacks up against my brother's BMW wagon for much less money. It's the best wagon in its class.
Super Car!

I bought this car in November of 2001 and am still in love with it. I always back away from it after I lock it up! Very good pickup with some initial lag due to the ASR (just turn it off if you want to squeal the wheels). Incredible acceleration even at highway speeds, but a bit more sluggish with a car full of adults. Outstanding fit and finish. No mechanical problems whatsoever. Only thing that broke was the tape player, which VW fixed for free. Can't get over how comfortable the ride is, and I think all the interior controls are perfectly set up. Bottom line: I highly recommend this car.
Value Packed

We compared the Camry, Accord, and Passat. The VW had it all. Safety, performance, comfort, fit and finish,great looks, and in more recent years reliability. Keep the options to a minimum to maximize value. Couple the 1.8 turbo with the manual tranny for real fun. I feel like Im driving a luxury car-with the others I didnt. one negative-wind and road noise above 80mph.
