This is a great car! This is my second Passat, I just came off lease of my 2002. I have had my new 2006 since May and it is a dream to drive. I drove to Chicago and averaged over 35 mpg and thew car had plenty of power for the major Highways. The fit and finish is way above the average Chevy type of car and I feel it is on par with higher so called luxury cars. I don't understand the knock on reliability, I have not had any trouble with either car. With 35 mpg, I do not know why Volkswagen doesn't push the mileage and compare it with the so called Hybrids. If you have a Passat you get almost as good mileage as a Hybrid without the extra expense.
VOLKSWAGEN FAIL.

expected more when purchasing new 2006 Passat, previous car was the new beetle and a friend had the 2001 Passat, when changes were made that must have cut costs with interior design and electrical system. Within 2 years, the AC failed, front headlights, interior lights and service buttons were always on. Also, after two summers of heat the ac controls, stereo buttons and auto windows had blistering and then peeling. Looks like a pos! Still drives fair considering the electrical system is out of whack. Last time I will buy new - over rated, definitely last time buying VW. Best car ever was Lexxus. **Note: the guy still driving his 2001 with 185,000 miles plus. Buy new VW & good luck.

This car has problems left and right. I bought it used from a dealership about 3 years ago. The transmission has been going bad for about a year now. I'm surprised it has lasted that long driving with a bad tranny. The bad tranny makes it constantly slip and clunk. It slips in between every single gear change and sometimes even slips when it isn't changing gears! Tried replacing the valve body and that did not help at all. It's completely unreliable and the worst car I've ever owned. I expected so much more from a VW. Now, the fuel pump has broken so it doesn't start. Save your time and money and do not buy this year Passat.

I absolutely love this car. I have previously owned three Honda Accords and one Lexus IS 250 (a waste of money). I decided on the Passat because of its interior comfort,size, features, performance, and design. The only issues I have experienced are not due to the vehicle, but the dealership. The car had 600 mystery miles on it when new. I later realized my black car had a blue bumper which was repaired by the dealership. The chrome around the windows was also tarnished and the paint has imperfections. I would challenge anyone looking for a new vehicle in this range to try the Passat. What an incredible vehicle for the price. I got mine with Pkg. 1 for $22,500!

The car drives like a dream. The interior quality is far above standard. I purchased the fully loaded 3.6 4Motion with Sport Pkg 2 with all the fixins'. It is a low key car that surprises all who dare to doubt. The car competes aggresively with the G35's performance and luxury of the Acura RL.
