I really enjoy driving the car, it handles well and gets good mpg (ranges from 25-32 mpg) big downfall to this car is terrible reliability, it seems as though I am in the shop every 3 months! purchased the car with 30k on it now it has 105k. in last 75k miles I've had to repair the following: fuel lines from tank to engine, major fuel leak inside engine compartment (got reimbursed due to recall) 3 times replaced cv joints 4 coil modules transmission mounting bracket power window regulator headlights constantly burn out - at least 5 times in last 4 yrs timing belt water pump mass air flow sensor will be trading in soon, tired of dumping $ into repairs!!

Gray with gray leather, 5 speed, 1.8, a fun car to drive, only thing I can't figure is the empty slot under the steering wheel...as if a shelf should be there...but that is the only flaw I have found with 350 miles. My buddy who has a Merc 4Matic thought it was great and was impressed with the price point. The sales guy Godfrey Campbell at Valenti in Watertown, CT was great!

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.
VW's best one

Best to drive, stylish, good acceleration. Somewhat excessive ABS. Pricy. But I love this car!
