Used 2006 Volkswagen Passat Consumer Reviews
Avoid VW if you want a reliable car.
This was the worst car my family has owned. The car had numerous problems. The first was one of the xenon headlamps went bad about a week after we bought the car. The second was the windshield wipers wouldn't come on in the rain and the local VW dealership couldn't fix the problem. One of the turn signal lights popped off the car for no reason and had to be rigged to stay in place. The CV boots went bad after about 2 years. There was loud road noise if you didn't have the radio on. The speakers broke also. Problems with the parking brake. The interior lights started coming and the seat had to be removed and it cost 500 bucks.
One to smile about
This is our second Passat, the first being a '98 1.8T 5-sp. I loved that car, but my wife decided it was time to go more "upscale", so we moved on to BMW. Since then, I have had two 7 series Bimmers, two 3 series and a '02 Altima 3.5 SE. I traded my tired 2000 740iL in on this gorgeous '06 3.6 Passat. United Gray/ Mocha Latte. I spent two full days looking at everything from Chrysler 300s to Mercedes E350s. Infiniti BMW and Audi. Guess what,......this is BAR NONE the BEST car for the money out there. I too keep finding new things to smile about in this car. The Dynaudio system is a blast, and built in XM (or Sirius) is easy to use. Power and Handling are tops in this arena.

Dream come true
I have been waiting for this car for 2 years since my 2002 Passat 1.8T, with sports package, it's hard to find another better buy if you really care about performance and engineering.
A Brilliantly Executed Driving Machine!
I cannot begin to express how fantastic this car is in every regard. The Volkswagen Passat 3.6 is awesome to drive around town, through twisty turns and muscling down the highway. Its power delivery is smooth and voracious, the sport tuned suspension is nicely balanced and the car is laden with technology. From the sleek and refined muscular styling to the balanced performance, interior comfort and features of the car, this is probably one of the most well rounded and capable vehicles on the road today. The body of the new Passat is also incredibly rigid which really enhances the feeling of control when driving the car. Take a look at this car. You wont be disappointed!
2006 Passat
Iecently bought a 2006 Passat 3.6 with luxury package 1. Man will this car move. It delivers great performance and I love the handling of the car. The premium sound system is great along with the XM radio. I love the blue/red dash at night and the dual climate control. I drove a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and BMW and this car had them all beat.
