I previously owned a 98' passat and loved it, even though it gave me nothing but problems. I Recently got the 2006 passat and all i can say is WOW. I am uber pleased with what i got. The original owner paid $32,000.00 and with only 39560 miles on it i managed to get the price from 21k to a simple 16k. By far the best car i have invested in. I love the power and performance. I suggest you use Amsoil Full synthetic oil 5w 40 European blend. It makes the power of the 225hp and turbo show through with amazing up and down shifts also helps car start immediately in cold. This will not be my last Volks. I think that this car will out last my last on. the Germans know how to engineer. Buy one!!

The sideview mirros are smaller and you can misjudge your clearance to pass. The engine valve are louder ....have had 3 recalls. I took it back and the claim it was repaired.. it is louder. The driver's side door is warped! The front speakers in the door are crackling...no one told you could put change in the top tray.. which fell down behind the dash.. no telling what damage that will cause.. get this you can't slide them out.. after I pay this off ... I am going back to Nissan...

Had the car since new. I have had an endless run of problems with the car combined with incompetent VW Australia Servicing. Problems include: Turbo PCV valve failed (at 12 months) Coil packs failed (at 18 months) Drivers elec window failed (numerous times) AC compressor failed (at 2 years) Brake pedal switch failed (causing intermittent complete power loss to engine computer!) Steering column/convenience unit failed (3.5 years) Brakes replaced at 20,000km Paint peeled off drivers door handle Battery failed at 2 years Suspension noisy over bumps I'll never buy another VW, and I've already turned several friends off getting one when I explain the problems I have had. Worst ownership exp. ever.
VW at it's best!

As an avid VW enthusiast, I decided to upgrade my much-loved Beetle to a roomier more powerful car. I'm a VW girl, but I still looked at the Chrysler 300C, Honda Accord, BMW 330, Mercedes-Benz, etc and after test driving the Passat, I'm still a VW girl. The car is so smooth and powerful. I love listening to music, so the Dynaudio with XM radio is otherwordly. It is the best sound system that I've ever had. If you are in the market for a mid-size sedan, you simply must take the Passat for a test drive, you will not be disappointed. The other reviewers are right on the money. I added aftermarket rims and tint; people don't even know what it is. this car is awesome. What a Christmas present to myself!
