In love with my Passat

I bought my Passat used, 2007 model in 2008 and absolutely love it! It came with the sport package which really sets the car off with the 18” wheels/tires and lowered suspension. When I was shopping for a car in 2007, I settled for a Jetta Wolfsburg edition because of my finances at the time and could not afford the Passat I really wanted. A year after I bought my Jetta I saw the Passat 3.6 w/sport package on the used lot of my local VW dealership. After talking with the sales manager I finally got a price I could afford. When my coworkers ride in my car they tell me that they really like how the interior is laid out and how the car rides and the exterior looks.

07 Passat sedan recently purchased (20K), looks great, handles well, but is the creekiest car I have ever owned. The dealer tried twice to fix the unacceptable noises in and around the dash/glove box/console to no avail.Is this typical for the 2007 passat? The service department said I was "very particular" even though they acknowledged that there are "minor squeaks, which, by the way, are noticeable on even the smoothest of roads.

2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T 4dr Wagon w/Prod. End 06/06 (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Coming up on three years of ownership - no problems whatsoever! This is my second Passat wagon. Love the 3.0T engine! Power when you need it, otherwise very docile. Mileage since new 27.1. Highway 32.0 (at 70+ mph). Using low-octane regular fuel. Only complaint is dumb cupholder design. My wife doesn't like the looks, but we both love the practicality. I will buy this one when lease ends.

I have to say that this is the worst car that I have ever owned. I traded my 1992 Saturn SL1 for this car. My Saturn was definitely a "no frills" car that was perfect for my needs, which at the time was reliable transportation to and from school and work. My husband wanted a larger sedan. Our VW ran great for the first 15000 miles, then it was in the shop constantly. The car stalled frequently, lost power steering, had all sorts of electrical problems. A recurring crack in the fuel line was the last straw and we traded it for a Saturn Vue. I know others who have had many electrical problems with these cars. They are pretty but not reliable. I will never buy a VW again.

How come everyone raves about the Passat build quality and interior fit and finish? Own a 07 passat wagon loaded with options and it has more squeaks and cracks than my 86 year old grandmother! Been in shop over 18 days for various problems. The dash is coming apart and falling off, the black paint on the door lock buttons are bubbling and peeling off, the leather has discolored...any suggestions on what I can do...we do have a Jetta 07 - that is excellent! Don't know what happened witht the Passat??? It still looks new from the outside.
