Used 2006 Volkswagen Passat Consumer Reviews
Buyer Beware!
My VW 2006 Passat just turned 77,000 miles and I brought the vehicle into the dealership becase of a "Check Engine" light and was told that the camshaft needed to be replaced. Upon asking why the camshaft went bad so early in the car's life, the dealer stated that this is due to infrequent oil changes or the wrong oil being used. I showed proof of eleven oil changes (only requires 7) using the recommended Europeon Synthetic blend, but VW would not assist in payment of the repairs. $3,000 repair - thanks VW. DO NOT BUY VW's!!!
Been in shop 3x in 2 mos. no accident
I purchased this car used at 35K and it's been in the shop 3x in the last 2.5 months with engine issues, key fob issues, fuse went, and suspension issues. The car has never been in a prior accident and never one with me since I purchased it. I'll never get another VW. Plan to trade this car in by end of year if these problems keep occurring, as I suspect they will.

nice and tight
That's the best way I can explain the handling and ride. I just leased the Passat 2.0Twith pkg. #1, cold weather pkg. and 17" rims for $390 a mo. for 36 mo. sign and drive. I've had a Honda Accord EX-V6 before and I thought that was an excellent car, but this VW is really what driving is about. The 17's really make the difference. Good luck to all with the vehicle!
Love This Car
After owning 5 Nissans in a row a friend of mine, reccomended the Passat to me, boy am I thankful for that. It is far and away best car purchase I've ever made. I love everything about this car including its overall handling, power, and safety features. The stereo is amazing and the interior is roomy and beautiful. In conclusion, I love this car and so does every one of my freinds and family.
I love to hate my VDUB
First the AC busted a hole in itself then all interior parts bubbled and peeled off within a year, then my cam system blew they replaced that, then my shifting cables broke, sun visors don't work and fall out of the holes that hold them up, all buttons had to be replaced, consistent alignment problems, consistent gas cap issues, consistent check engine light, fuel pump replaced, vacuum seals and all that kind of stuff replaced, now warranty is over and I'm stuck with only one year payments left with a piece of crap that is fun to drive that I have to trade in when all i wanted was a car that would last 100k miles, I've got 58k and Im DONE.
