I have had many problems....como. problems with this cars, recalls and minor stupid issues that should not happen at this mileage. Something about the pic valve makes your car idle rough and you must keep replacing it. The ignition coils always go out. Also biggest issue with this car is the timing belt. And not the timing belt itself, it's components. They all mess up so you must make preventive maintenance!?!? Your car can be running fine, then all of a sudden lock up your engine. This is a main problem. Sadly my friend warned me about it and then said "I told you so" to my $5000 sudden expense. [non-permissible content removed] Passat. Only few models are worth it for vw.

I'm a former VW owner, and I traded up my 2003 Passat for a 2006 because I had heard so many great things about them. The '06 Passat 2.0T accelerates very well, and it seats 4-5 passengers in comfort. The 6-disc changer, satellite radio, and night gauge illumination make the drive fun and enjoyable. I'm most impressed with the suspension! This updated Passat feels stiffer than my '03, and it corners on rails. I love the 3 transmission options (N, S, and Tiptronic). There's more usable room in the '06, and I've found no problems in build quality. My '06 has the airbags that wrap around the passengers. There is no comparison to this car at this price!

I purchased my 2006 VW Passat 2.0T for about $25K from the dealership. It now has106k miles. The scheduled maintenance was always done on time, including the pricey synthetic oil changes every 3k miles. After taking the necessary actions to have the car regularly serviced(in hopes of having the car last) At 85K miles I needed to replace the front axel. ($1200) At 100K miles my car started shifting funny. I brought it to the dealership to take a look. I was told I needed to replace the transmission. They quoted me $6000. After this shocking quote I brought the car to a reputable transmission shop. I was told the same thing, I needed a new transmission. This quote was less at $4.5K. Thats right, with 106k miles I needed to replace the transmission! In my opinion a transmission should not need to be replaced with 100K miles. The black rubber coating on the buttons is pealing, the sunroof is leaking, and the engine is misfiring. I would highly suggest to anyone looking to purchase a VW not to. They are stylish and affordable but the cars do not last.

I was looking between the Acura TL, BMW 3-Series, and when I finally test drove the New Passat, there was no more competition in my mind. I love this car. The ride, the placement of everything inside, Everything is great! I know that Volkswagon has had problems in the past, so time will tell with the Passat.
DO NOT BUY A VW - MY BIGGEST REGRET

This is the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. The car has been in the shop over 15 times & about 6 months total. WE have spent over $5000 in repairs for this BRAND NEW car. It is worthless and full of problems and recalls. Entire steering column has been replaced twice w/in 14 months; entire radio/cd had to be replaced; air conditioner went out after only 2 years; brakes had to be replaced after 2 years; It is a worthless car and I am scared to death to drive it anywhere because it continuously has Service Now lights on; check engine light; beeping all the time; warning lights; Please do not buy a VW. VW of America does not care about their customers; they have shut us out.
