2007 Volkswagen Passat 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I bought my wagon in '16 with only 42K miles on it, thinking I was getting a steal. I haven't been able to put a penny into saving since then, because this car is in the shop 2-3 times per year and the repairs are not cheap! There's a whole list of "needs to be taken care of soon" repairs (engine mounts, etc.) that I'm holding off on, because now the catalytic converter / beginning of the exhaust system out from the back of the engine has completely detached and exhaust is pouring out under the hood. Another pricey fix! I'm getting rid of this car and will absolutely never buy another VW.

Audi performance; VW price

I test drove Audis and BMWs before deciding on the Passat. I love the six speed transmission, and using the Sport setting makes the car go like a rocket. Insurance is very reasonable on this model too. Absolutely no problems in two years of ownership, which is something even my Honda couldn't deliver (I don't know why Consumer Reports keeps knocking VW quality, when I've owned 3 VWs and had few problems). The power and performance of this car is great, and it's comfortable on long trips. If I had it to do over, I would have paid for the leather package because I plan to keep this car for a long time.

Don't buy the wagon

Fast and sporty with all the bells and whistles, but not reliable. I bought it used and in a year it has been in the shop 4 times. It has less than 50k miles. The interior is great and very well made. Has room for 2 adults, a baby, 2 dogs and luggage for a week. But if you don't want to end up stranded, don't buy one.

When driving the 2007 Passat, you feel like you are driving a BMW, Audi or Mercedes without a huge debt. I love the inside. this car has a lot of power for a 2 liter engine and it is very good on gas. It has a lot of details, specially inside. I have never had any problem with it at all. It is an excellent choice for a long term car.:-)

We purchased the vw passat in candy apple white, sport package w/18" wheels, what a great looking car! The ride is exceptional, tight and confident. This feeling rises in proportion with the speedometer reading. Personal taste is subjective, but I truly believe that the lines of the passat are best accentuated when presented in candy apple white with 18" wheels. A real head turner. Odometer is approaching 10,000mi and no issues. Go for it !
