Used 2007 Volkswagen Passat Consumer Reviews
Driver you want? Driver you got!
This is really an amazing car. The design, especially interior, is a step above any other car out there. It feels much more expensive than it actually is. The size is what really sold me. In order to get a car of the same size and features (volvo, saab, mercedes, audi, etc) you will pay at least 10k more. I have driven this car across country twice and it is a fabulous road car. Great driving position, everything within reach and intuitive. It has a smooth but responsive road feel. This thing just cruises! Negatives? electrical system, expensive wipers
Instead of an SUV
I was shopping for small to medium SUV to replace my BMW convertible. This 2007 Passat Wagon supplies the fun-to-drive factor that I craved, with the cargo area that I needed, in a well-fitted, comfortable, full-featured package...and it kept me under my $30,000 ceiling. I'm also delighted with the 23/31 gas mileage. As a bonus, my fashion-conscious fiancee will allow herself to be seen in and to drive my new Passat Wagon. This vehicle gets lots of style points.

VW 2007 Passat Wagon
Driving so far (2 months) has been great. My gas mileage on a 420 mile trip was 31.4 mpg. The only thing missing is Homelink controls for garage doors.
Nice overall, watch the blindspot
The Passat's size is excellent. One problem is the low windows and size, create a blind area on the driver's side for oncoming cars. You need to crain your neck 'round to make sure there isn't a vehicle in the lane immediately on your left. Otherwise this is a fun car.
Unreliable, tons of problems
We purchased this car in March of 2006. We now have 34K miles on the car. It has been towed to various VW dealers four times. Twice we were going 65 mph on the freeway and it stalled. We've had the entire A/C system replaced (that was fun, going up a hill, a grinding sound and tons of smoke and the car died), many belts have broken, various sensors have malfunctioned, electrical problems and I could go on. We had 2 other VWs previously and no problems. Thankfully our other car is a BMW which is night & day compared to the Passat.
