2004 Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion AWD 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
My 2004 Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion AWD has a sports sedan feel with the sport package option. It has been reliable with good manners. It takes time to understand and appreciate this car. The engine is a unique configuration of two V4 motors sitting almost on top of each forming a W hence the name. The 4Motion keeps the 270 horses stabilized and glued to the road. Otherwise, a front drive 8-cylinder car might be gyrating out of contol. The manual 6-speed transmission is very pleasant to use. This car is understated and classy. The high density lights are a bonus driving at night in deer country.

If you want basically and AUDI A4 with more interior room and about $6000 to $8000 less sticker price, this is your car. This is my second VW and by far the best. The Passat class is not prone to all the little bugs and recalls of the jettas and the new beetles. Its basically a mid-size german sports sedan for less than $25,000. Who could ask for more?

This car is sporty and fun to drive. The car sold itself, and I have had no complaints. For such a small looking car there is tons of room in the trunk and backseat. Stock stereo sounds nice too. Interior controls are functional and easily understood.

Purchased this car CPO from a VW dealership. Have had it maintained at dealers, check ups, synthetic oil, etc. The water pump busted on my way to Cincinnati less than a year after I had the car, I've had numerous problems with the engine that have been covered under warranty... but in less than 2 years this car has left me stranded on the side of the road 3 times waiting for a tow. Most recently the ignition coil went about a month ago and then the same thing happened this morning. I'm actually waiting for a tow truck now and as soon as they fix it today I'm driving to another dealership to trade it in for a Subaru.

I have lost count on how many VW's I have owned now and am always impressed with what VW has to offer. This GLX wagon is all I anticipated. Excellent ride quality and better than anticipated fuel economy. I always get complimented on the body lines and colors.

I love driving this car. It is a complete joy, peppy, and reliable, easy to steer with no play in the wheel. Ir turns corners at almost 90 degrees and brakes beautifully.

I LOVE THIS CAR!! THE ONLY THINGS I CAN THINK OF THAT I DON'T LIKE IS THE SLUGGISH TAKE OFF IN SITUATIONS WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET ON THE GAS FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AND THE MONSOON SOUND SYSTEM IS ONLY GOOD FOR CD'S. OTHERWISE I HAVE GOTTEN SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR IT IS. IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE A BRAND NEW SYLISH CAR FOR A DECENT PRICE. THERE IS NOTHING I WOULD CHANGE ABOUT THE INTERIOR EITHER. IT IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND LUXURIOUS TO BE SO AFFORDABLE. AS A FORMER '99 BMW 323 OWNER, IT HAS ALL THE LOOKS OF LUXURY INSIDE AND OUT, BUT OFCOURSE YOU CAN'T COMPARE IT TO THE ENGINE OF A BMW! (OR THE PAYMENT!)

I really enjoy driving this car, however, it takes some time for the engine to react... it is not as "peppy" as some of the other models. Also, it feels like the car is a little "lopsided" when making sharp turns. However, I would rate this car a 9, and I would definitely test drive this car when looking for a new sedan.

I liked the exterior design of the car, and thats what fooled me in to buying this one, first of all, it seems like it does not have a windshield, it is very noisy, and it kills gas, I get around 170 miles to the tank in the city and about 230 miles on highway, these are the real numbers, don't be fooled with 21 city 30 highway, if your grandma drives the car, you can save gas but if you try to keep up with everyday traffic you will consume around 12 mpg in city and 18mpg on highway.The trunk leaked water in the first month. And dashboard creaks from every point when its cold out and rattles when its warm, this maybe a lemon.

My entire family owns Volkswagens. I find them to be amazing cars. The only issue i have with VW is the timing belt and water pump. Other than that, these cars are amazing. I have never driven a more reliable car, or a car more fun. They handle like a dream and the stock sound system is ridiculous.

Volkswagen should be more than a little embarrassed. The grade of plastic specified for use in a German designed sun visor should be UV resistant. That it broke down and became brittle in 5 years, with less than normal use (and no abuse) is unacceptable to me as a customer, and definitely to me as an engineer (I understand mechanics of materials very well!). I believe that a defective or knock-off part installed on my vehicle at the time of manufacture, should be replaced at no cost to me and chalked up to quality parts control.. and lets have a lessons learned here.

I absolutely love this car!!! I had a '96 Mustang before this purchase for 8 years and it only took me 2 days to become spoiled from my '05 Passat. The gas mileage is great. And actually I travel 50 miles to work one way and I average more than 38 miles to the gallon. It's more like 40.5, and I'm no pokey driver. I've only had it for a short while, but I predict I will love it always!

Americans don't understand how really great this car is. Audi Quattro performance and comfort for a fraction of the price (They are both made by the same company.) Larger than an A4 and smaller than an A6, the Passat is a perfect size to deliver both tremendous agility and interior roominess. The W8 option delivers 270 hp of 8 cylinder performance, with upgrades to the suspension and wheels (but you must order the sports suspension). I've had more than one BMW and Mercedes. They deliver snob appeal and prestige. But VW/Audi cars deliver performace whether the road is dry, wet or icey. That's something the first two can't begin to match.

Ours is one of the first GLS 4Motion Passats in the area. This car is an Audi for thousands less - Tiptronic transmission, leather interior with wood accents, heated seats, excellent materials. The interior has the spaciousness we were seeking, and the features of this midlevel GLS are many. It has enough power to get out of its own way, nice tossability for a car of its size, and great highway manners. Can't wait to take it to Tahoe.

I'm don't agree with what some others have said. I am 6'8" and 260 lbs. and I fit in the passat with ease. i actually could move the seat up and still be comfortable. The head room (without the sun roof) is amazing. incredibly fun to drive, and the 4 cylinder turbo is great. no need for the V-6. This engine has plenty of power and better gas mileage. and I love driving the manual. However, I did have to take the car into the shop with a small computer problem, but I was in and out in a very short time.

I have found this car to drive very nicely with excellent external noise reduction and a smooth ride. It accelerates smoothly. The stereo is great. The seat comfort is great. Looks are very appealing. Electronic perks are great. So far I think this car is as good as many cars priced more such as the lexus-330 and bmw 325i. A great buy-near luxury car.

We purchased our wagon new about 4.5 years ago. We have been very satisfied with it. It has run well the entire time and the only time there was a problem that was not a recall was when we got bad gas, which isn't the car's fault! It's been driven 1/2 way across the country a couple of times and the gas mileage is pretty ok, averaging 30+ MPG on the highway.
Styled and well built German sedan

Purchased in 2006 from a private party. I have previously owned a Mercedes 230S, Audi 80 and Volvo 240, V70, S80's and a VW Sirocco. I would consider this a well behaved, fairly high quality, fuel efficient mid-sized sedan. I looked at Camry and Accords before I purchased it. I liked the styling and performance on the VW better, plus the Toyotas and Accords looked "blah", and had little driving personality. No problems in three years of ownership, regular maintenance and two VW recalls serviced at the dealer. Gets 31 MPG+ on a 27 mile highway trip to work. VW is the master of small engines: Hits 100 mph+ effortlessly on a 1.8L. Currently costs $35 to fill the tank. Upgraded tires to Yokohama

in syracuse, I wont let my wife drive anythin unless it is awd. build quality is excellent, shifter is good, clutch is very vague, easy to stall, to assisted, car is reasonably quick, for a family sedan, but put 19: rims on it, tint the windows, and put a spoiler on it, and even the fast and furious kids are impressed. only real complaint is the soft rev limiter in 1st gear that starts shutting it down almost 800 rpm faster than in 2nd-6th, just as the car really starts coming on in 1st, you are into the rev limiter, then it pulls real strong to redline in every other gear.awaiting the snow, to see how it performs in a syracuse ny winter with blizzaks on it

I love my car, if it would just keep working!! I have owned 3 VW's. But my 3rd is making me look like a fool. I love the way it drives, it corners like it is on rails. Very comfortable interior, awesome sound system. Other people don't understand why I still have it. I have now been stranded 2 times and have only owned it for 15 months, with 76,ooo miles. This car is well cared for. The coils have failed, CV boots replaced, and now oil cooler failed. I hate to get rid of it, but at this point I could owe a Lexus for what it has cost me to fix this one.
Love this car but more power please

Upgraded from my 2000 Jetta, and paid less in 12/03 than I did for the Jetta in 06/00, and the Pasat has more expensive features (leather interior, 6 air bags, for example)! I found that Internet salespeople work on a salary, not commission: one saves a bunch! The 2004 Passat has a wealth of creature comforts & great engineering.

I like my Passat, but I doubt I'll buy another one. The six cylinder has nice pickup around town, and is fun to drive, but it dies on the highway, especially if you are carrying people. Also, the gas mileage is ridiculous - I get 13 to 14 mpg around town. Little things - like not being able to read the dashboard meters - make me question the engineering. Also, this car - even with front wheel drive - is terrible in snow. And the Passat is expensive for what you get .. my next car is probably the Infiniti G35. I regret buying the Passat instead of the G35 ... both in the same price range.

Definately a poor mans BMW due to similar handling characteristics, features, and styling. The 1.8T GLS- auto is more powerful than one would expect from a 4-cyl engine. Although a 4-cyl, it drives and feels as smooth and potent as any V6 I've ever driven, especially in Tiptronic mode. The car is downshift-happy in auto mode, which is why Tiptronic is the only way to go for gas-mileage savings and smoothness. Gas-mileage is good, but could be better for a 4-banger. I've had the car for almost 2-years now...been in for unscheduled service 3 times (blown speaker, air- conditioning odor, trunk not staying up). Build quality is OK, but what do you expect for an almost fully-loaded $24k car?!?

This is my favorite car in over 30 years of driving. It has all the benefits of a wagon, yet drives like a sporty sedan. It has great mid speed acceleration, downshift to 4th or 3rd, floor it and you can, pass almost anything. It looks great, very European and the interior is very high class for a car in that price range. The gas mileage is so-so in city driving, but cruising at 75mph you can go 400 miles before gasing. I have had for 42,000 miles and have only brought it in for scheduled maintenance. Its reliable, sporty, looks great and practical, what more could you want.

I bought this car as a certified Volkswagen. I loved the look and the style. It handle and drove as you would expect a German car. Very peppy and responsive. Shortly after the purchase I started having electrical problems, window's stopped working, censors were going bad. The warranty covered all the work, although the dealerships were not easy to work with. At around 80,000 miles the car broke down on the road. Found out there was a recall on the motor that the dealership didn't notify us about. The whole motor was replaced under warranty because of an oil pump problem. After that the alternator went dead causing three more breakdowns. After many headaches the car is running fine, for now.

This car is the best in class. I compared everything from Acura to VW and this car for the price has the most bang for your buck. I love it, and I am sure you will to. Everything from the side impact air bags, to the heated mirrors(great for the cold weather places). The air condition is like a snow storm in Buffalo. The heat is like Hades for those cold winter nights. The inside of the car is so quiet with the radio off that you can hear a pin drop, no road or outside noise.

It has held up well through the years. It still looks stylish and is more attractive than the new iteration. It is heavy but very solid without rattles. The sport package with a six speed turns it into a sports sedan. No mechanical problems other than normal wear and tear. There are not many of these on the road and I suspect even fewer with a stick shift. The seats have held up well and show very little wear. The radio and cd player are still working well which is something that I couldn't say about my 91 passat. I see no reason why I can't keep this car for 10 more years since I only have 50,000 original miles on it.

I purchased my passat used last fall. I was really excited to get it. I got a lemon this time. It is in shop about once a month with a warning light on. Already had part of the dash replaced and about 3 software upgrades. Both headlight burned out at the same time. Just turned 50K so the warranty is gone. I am just waiting for the next problem. VW has let me down. I am going back to toyota as soon as I can.

Most enjoyable car I have ever purchased. Previouly owned back to back Accords which were nice but not really fun. I look forward to just going for a drive due largely to performance and luxurious feel. I have the manual transmission and don't really notice the turbo lag. My gas milage is great. Don't understand the people who say fuel economy is poor. I get 22-25 in town and 31-34 freeway. I am and 6 feet tall and wife is 5'5" and both find comfortable driving positions. Had to take car in for ingnition coil recall and power loss to stereo. Both warranty items fixed promtly.

My boyfriend talked me into a VW instead of an Audi because of the savings. We saw it in the Consumer Report being the #1 best rated vehicle so I ended up buying it. I'm so happy with the entire package. The triptonic is so fun and the seats lay down where I can load it up with anything I want. The stereo is the best also. Thanks VW.
