My 3rd Passat and the Best

This 2006 3.6 Passat is my 3rd. For quality, ride, comfort, and mileage it's the best. I commute 35 miles each way to work, and daily checking my mileage computer; I get 31-33 MPG! And, that's not all cruising! On road trips, I also have validated mileage of 31-34 MPG at highway speeds. This vehicle is vastly under-appreciated. It compares with ANY, more highly visible, family sport sedans. As importantly, my dealership; Britt VW, is a gem. Great car, great dealership, and great daily fun driving a car that handles exceptionally, is comfortable, has all the power you need, and gets great mileage. Fact is, this 2006 3.6 auto gets better mileage than my 2003 V6 5- speed!

I've owned my 2.0T for just over 3 years. It has been one of the most satisfying autos I have ever experienced. I've owned Corvettes, BMW's, Porsche's, an Audi, a Cadillac, several Chevy's , a couple of Fords and a few others. I think, I can safely say, this is the best of the lot. It'll travel over 500 Highway miles on a tank of gas. It's more comfortable than a couple of BMW's I've owned. It's fast, it handles pretty well and it's never had to go back to the dealer since I bought over 40,000 miles ago. I've changed the oil (Mobile 1) a few times and recently replaced the original tires. The brake pads still look like new. I bought it new for 22 grand. What a great car. 2 thumbs, way up!

Best Highway Driving Car Ever

This is my first VW and at the end of 4 years still love the vehicle. It's the most comfortable and fun car I have ever had for highway driving. Seats are very comfortable! Long trips are a breeze. Negatives are the parking sensors in cold or wet weather give you false beeps frequently. Navigation is terrible if you want to find something on a common street like Elm or Main. System lists every Elm St. in all cities within a state and you end up guessing which of the multiple Elms listed is the right one. No way to enter city name to narrow the list. Just hope for a unique street name.

My wife bought a new Passat in late December 2006. The night we drove it home the right headlight failed and it took the dealership nearly two weeks to find and install another unit. The car ran fine until mid-May 2007 when it started to make a loud buzzing noise on start-up. We immediately took it into the dealer who advised that a bolt had sheared on the oil pump and it needed an entire new engine! As of June 14, 2007 the dealership has had the car for almost 4 weeks and is now installing the third engine because the replacement engine had the same problem. This car has been out of service for more than 5 weeks during the first 6 months of ownership. This is absolutely ridiculous quality.
German engineering is super

I got the car second-hand when it had about 20,000 miles on it and now it has already 160K miles. Awesome car. The previous owner did a great job maintaining it, so I had no problems at all with this car, except regular maintenance. It is a great car. Very fun to drive and looks great. Actually I think it looks better than the current generation of Passat. German engineering is super and trustable. Only thing one must remember is to use only premium gas (91 or above). I can see some people got problems with the car mainly because they were cheap enough to use 87 gas for the car. If you do that, you will end up with many problems. I have been using 93 gas and got no problem at all.
