I bought my Passat in Nov, 2001. It is an awesome car! There was a musty odor comming out of the AC vents initially but now is gone. There were no other flaws with my purchase. This month they replaced the ignition coil and added a safety shield to the rear fender ( both recalls). Neither of them ever gave me problems. For the looks, lower the car and add larger wheels and you will see the difference. I strongly recommend the car.

We love Our 02 Passatt. It is comfortable on long trips, good accelaration, love the Monsoon sound system. Have received lots of compliments on the looks. Black on black. A few small problems occurred but were taken care of by VW's warrenty.

Bought this car after having a Jetta. Loved the Jetta; do NOT love the Passat. Gas mileage 23 combined at best. Recurrent problems that were "fixed" (front headlight shakes, lock/unlock button won't work, one of the locks stuck, window stuck open, screeching noise from dash when cold out and using fan, burning brakes smell) and the seat heater was burning me through the seat. (they repaired that for free though). Will not buy again!

1st new car ever bought, came from a Chevy Nova with 280K miles, Mazda Protege with over 225K miles, my VW has died at 142,000 miles from the dreaded oil sludge issue. Didn't have any other major problems, car stills looks good, all the interior parts work well, but not willing to spend $5K plus to fix it, admit to now being disappointed in the car. I will not buy another VW.
