I've owned this midsized sedan for almost two and half years now. I bought it used with 40K miles on the ODO. At 52 K miles I've replaced a CV joint from an aftermarket parts supplier. The cost was far cheaper than dealership prices. Parts the were replaced under VW warranty were: the VW engine cover emblem, rear trunk struts, side blinker lights & rear ashtray. This car corners well with the right type of tires installed. I replaced the cheap tires that came with this car from the dealership and the difference was noticeable. Parts are best bought from online suppliers to save on cost if you plan to keep this vehicle for at least 10 years.
midsize for $25000

Best Looking Wagon on the Road

2003 Volkswagen Passat GLS 1.8T 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5A)

We love our Wagon. It's a great value with a ton of safety and standard features for less than $25K. The 1.8t has plenty of pull through most the gears-especially while using the tiptronic feature (Then you can add a chip for even more power). There's plenty of room for a couple who are just starting a family. The perfect car for those of us who don't want a minivan nor an SUV.

I've test driven and researched Audi, BMW, Lexus, Acura and Volkswagen and found the best pricing and best value for the money in the Passat GLX Automatic.
Beautiful, but electronic nightmare

As a longtime Honda and Nissan owner, I'm accustomed to hassle-free operation. Despite its good looks and fun to drive personality, my Passat has had the malfunction indicator lamp illuminate five times in two months and the Monsoon stereo stopped working! A review of VW forums shows I'm not alone.
