This is my second Passat, at the end of the lease now. I loved my 2002 B5. This, however, is not a B5. I enjoyed this car, but had some problems with it. The electronic parking brake has been repaired 2x now and still glitchy. It actually disengaged itself and rolled across a parking lot once! AC compressor had to be replaced and the AC is anemic anyway. The film on the dash bubbled up in the sun. In its favor: the car is just a blast to drive. I have the 6 speed, and it's a hoot. The automatic was anemic compared to the 6 speed. The sensation of a big car moving like a little roadster is comical, enjoyable and uniquely entertaining.

I just purchased my new 2006 VW Passat 2.0 and I have to say that it's the most sturdy luxury-feeling car I have ever purchased. I had the dealer remove the alloy wheels and reduce the price by $300. Additionally I had them throw in free monster mats as well. I got mine with Packge 1and my out-the-door price was $25,921. I am quite happy with it thus far.

The car has been very reliable and handles well. A small transmission fix and a console trim door replacement when new. Almost 3 years and 38K miles later and no other repairs. I've fixed a couple rattles in the IP. Oil changes are expensive, about $80 every 7500 miles at the dealership but the service experience is excellent. Comfort seats even in leather are adequate at best but far from comfortable. Air conditioning is marginal, inadequate above 90, and I replace cabin filter annually.
great car for the money

I have owned a Passat for past 8 yrs. The new 2006 model has been great. It is a head turning and even teenagers say "Nice car!" The gas mileage has been awesome, I have to drive 21 miles one way to work and I get between 30- 33 mpg. My Passat gets about 550 miles per tank. I haven't had any issues with this Passat, only routine maintenance. the only thing I don't like about the car is you can't drive with driver side window down. The wind blows so hard through this window I can't stand it. I have tried to adjust other windows and sunroof and nothing works. I don't know for newer models but for 2006 this is a problem for me. But overall I would recommend this car to anyone.

This is my second Volkswagen Passat and there is no comparison. The new 2006 Passat is awesome. The 2.0 liter tubo engine is a pocket rocket. The interior feels like I am in a Mercedes. For the money it is the best overall car around.
