Best car ever owned. Bought for the safety features, 30+ MPG, four adults capacity and could not be more pleased. Using mid-grade gas, average 33 MPG in easy driving and 25 when pushed hard. No reliability issues whatsoever. Great driving experience feeling like a much more expensive car. Very stable and cruises at 85 without feeling sensation of speed. Surprised by the power of the Turbo 4; more surprised at the combo of power and excellent gas mileage. Major complaint is the original equip Goodyears slipped badly when wet / cold. Bought a set of dedicated snow tires for my snowy CT winters and replaced the summer tires with Continentals -- problem solved. I'd buy again!

Just got the new Passat few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Interior design is impeccable, outside it looks awesome as well. No resemblance to Toyota whatsoever (some people saw Coroll in rear end, beats me where they got that from; put the two cars side by side and see for yourself). The 2.0T engine is all new and has gobs of power and great torque curve. The car is also very quiet, even at high speeds. There is no competition in this class for this car; Camry and Accord can't even hold a candle to it (Accord especially, with even A/C optional), tons of standard luxury features. Automatic transmission is finally up to par (previous models had annoying kick to it).

The 2006 Volkswagen Passat is very nice. I am very impressed with the new design of the Passat. I haven't seen any on the road yet, but I am sure that within six months people will come around to find that this car is a great bang for the buck. I put some 18'' chrome wheels on it, nice Michelin tires, and it looks like a beamer! This car is going to be easy to sell down the road. I paid MSRP, but it is ok, I purchased before it was released.

I recently purchased a 2006 VW Passat, deep black with pkg #2 and Dynaudio and 15 miles on odometer. At the time all other car makers are trying to cut cost, VW came up with a winner. This is the car designed for drivers, not saving several pennies from each component. After 600 miles, still love it with no grievance. Shifting into the "S" gear, the car launched like a rocket. The normal "D" was programmed to save gas. Overall I got 24-25 MPG on my daily driving (no freeway). The Dynaudio stereo is awesome and I love the MP3 capability and the satellite radio. I wanted to get a united grey or shadow blue, but the black with chrome grill just looks so ...rich.

I purchased my 81 year old mother one and got her out of a 2004 Cadillac DeVille. She loves it, the control and safety features are the ticket. I bought my daughters (2) TDI Beetles and they love them also. VW is putting quality products on the road and standing behing them.
