I bought a 2006 VW 2.0t passat, with 48,000 miles in may of 2009. This car is a piece of junk. Thank goodness I had a certified pre-owned warranty on it, good until 75,000.2 months after buying this, a transmission valve (I think that what it's called. Not much of a car expert.) broke. Repair costs totaled $1400.00, which I didn't have to pay b/c of the warranty. 5 months later, the check engine light came on. VW told me that my gas cap wasn't on tight enough. I took it to the dealer, $2200.00 worth of stuff wrong. Once again, all covered under warranty, thankfully. Last week, had to have the car towed from work. Engine gasket broke and pcv valve bad. $500.00. Trading it in tomorrow.
Best car for the money dollar per dollar

The cars is 200HP and you feel it. Paradise for tall people, more leg room than an E class Mercedes. At high speed in the highway you notice why European and Japaneses are different. Well built and fun to drive, very reasonable fuel consumption. No problems whatsoever in 13,500 miles. A lot of car for the money and safety features are important to me. This VW is designed to go over 100 MPH on the Germans "autobahn" and engineering is superb. I'm extremely happy with the purchase of my Passat. The human bean is the most perfect machine in the world and sometimes fail. What the people expect of a car? In live luck counts for all. Wishing you good luck on your new Passatt as I had.

2006 Volkswagen Passat Value Edition 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I have had it for couple of weeks and my experience so far is good. My Value Edition Passat has all of the options that I required and it drives well too. Setting the display options in the Value Edition is a nightmare though. Overall the car runs and handles well.
Great Car!

The 2006 Volkswagen Passat is definitely a looker! I have the Mocha Brown color (that looks grey sometimes and black other times, and then brown other times) with tan leather interior. It's a very sharp looking car. It is very fun to drive!

2006 Volkswagen Passat 3.6 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

The Passat 3.6L sport package is a great all around car with 280 hp, 24.7mpg with over 6,800 miles so far, comfort, and handling. The sport seats are great, the sport package suspension handles a lot better, yet rides better than a BMW 325i with a sport package. I am getting +2.5 mpg better than the '03 Honda Accord 3L V6 that I traded in on the same commute, while driving a bigger car with notably more power. I have had no problems with it so far except for the ECU reflash for the throttle hesitation, which worked very well and took 40 minutes. If you have not driven a Passat 3.6, it's a sweet deal (especially an '06 leftover pricing: $28,000) with big discounts are available (I got $5,700 off list).
Buyers Beware

Like many of you other reviewers, I too was looking at the Infiniti G35, Acura TL/RL, and Toyota Camry and ended up buying the 2006 Passat 3.6L Sedan. I thought it had the best bang for the buck. However, someone once told me that if something is too good to be true, it probably isn't. I've driven this car less than 3,000 miles and have already had it in the shop 3-4 times. The electrical system has failed numerous times, tire-pressure gauge light has already gone off as well as the service engine light. It's usually a 2-week wait to get your car in for service and make it 3-weeks if you need a loaner. This car is not very reliable and VW dealers provide poor customer service. It worries me what this car will cost in the end.
Disappointing

I bought this car for quality. But have not received anything but aggravation. What a big lie that Germans build quality. Since I bought this car I been taking it to the dealer for electrical problems. Too many to list. And forget about vw to help, all they tell me "I'm sorry to hear that you having trouble."
