Really like my new GLX 4Motion but the MPG is a shock after getting 28+ in my Saturn SC2.

We bought our Fresco Green 1.8T in June and fight over who drives it every weekend--love it! Only glitch is Monsoon radio decided to die today, and according to the B5 website it's a common problem. Regardless, the styling and driving feel of our Passat is second to none. Looked at 02 Altima, Sebring, 300M, Galant (our old car). No contest.

I investigated and found that the Passat was rated #1 in its class and I can see why. I was worried about the horsepower with the four cylinder turbo, but I am not disappointed. The appearance of the car looks as if I spent a fortune and the inside is as comfortable and stylish as any other car on the road. I will never buy anything but VW again!! This car is perfect for a small family or a single person. Dah, Dah, Dah...

Originally, we weren't too interested in buying VW even though we enjoyed 4 different VWs over the years. I checked out BMW and Volvo and finally put some money down on a new Nissan Altima SE (260HP Manual) which would be a month wait when I decided to do keep looking around. I heard that VW doubled their warranty and decided to check out the Passat merely for it's size and look. As soon as my wife and I climbed into the car we looked at each other and smiled. Needless to say, we bought it almost on the spot and haven't looked back!

I've only had this car 3 weeks, and I am enjoying the heck out of it! I wanted Ink Blue, which the dealer told me was being discontinued, and as a result was a little difficult to find, but the dealer located one for me in NC (I live near DC). I wanted the grey interior with the luxury package and monsoon stereo, which I got. I also ended up with homelink (guess I'll get a garage door opener now). The car rides great and handles well. I have received alot of compliments on the look of the car. It has chrome trim, and with the bright blue, it looks sweet! My only complaint is I'm short, and have to have the seat up all the way, so the arm rest is useless.
