Very fun, but dang, lots of service
This car is very fun to drive and very comfortable for the driver during road trips and other long hauls. The trunk is very spacious and I really enjoy the neat features like the grocery bag holder in the trunk... The acceleration is awesome and the handling at high speeds is great. BUT, there always seems to be a light on to fix something and VW service is not the cheapest.
Headache!
Second Passat owned, purchased certified pre-owned with 10k miles, and absolutely disappointed. Loved my '04 and for the most part I enjoy the '07 but there are endless issues. Luckily the manufacturer warranty has covered many but having to take the car in every few months is unacceptable. Constant check engine lights, turbo downpipe issues, coil pack issue, etc... Sad to say probably the last VW I will buy.

Awful CAR - Value Wasted!
I owned a 2000 Passat and absolutely hated it! The warranty only covered 24,000 miles, and the engine sludged. The service at the dealership was lousy. My wife decide she wanted a new car which is why I'm here again. VW Passat still has the same awful mess created in 2000, just a slicker version. Its reliability was terrible. I lost a lot of time taking it to dealer and getting a run around delay from VW USA. It looks nice but if you want a reliable CAR don't try a VW.
Help - How do I get rid of this lemon?
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.
The ultimate VW Passat 2.0L Turbo Review
Prices can get expensive for repairs but worth the fix. Its an outstanding car.Great speed,acceleration and handling is amazing . It is one of my favorite cars.It can used to race around for fun or use to go to the store or even far away places.It is pretty good on gas and I can go far distances for a lot less money than my other car. The turbo on the car sounds great too so you can hear it very loudly with my set-up.The stock speakers are beyond amazing.The bass to them is great and they go very loud. The top problems iv had to deal with the car is spark plugs and coil packs which makes the car have a slight misfire but are somewhat affordable for the car.For around $125 you can have a great car.

Less for More
After owning a 2004 Passat Wagon I was surprised to find some of the downgrades in the updated version. The dashboard materials screem General Motors-like, not-quasi luxury Euro car. The door pulls are hard plastic instead of kind of rubbery like before. The front seats are flat as pancakes offering no thigh support, so much for that five hour road trip. There's also no lateral support in the front seats. The seats and the long straight dash remind me more of a Buick than a VW. The new dash is very far away and high up making forward visibility poor.
NEVER...EVER...AGAIN!!!
Bought the car brand new in '07. "Service Now" light has appeared on dash since first oil change. Electronic E-brake has left me stranded, and now rarely works..gets stuck on daily. Interior "chrome" has peeled on shifter, as well as peeling on door lock buttons. Xenon bulbs have had to be replaced on both sides, twice..$165/bulb!! Driver's side heated seats only worked for one year. Rear seat has loose stitching in spots...seat has only been used a handful of times, ever. EPC light illuminated on dash and caused expensive repairs to fix. Door lock sensor became stuck on and needed to be brought in for service. Engine is now experiencing tremendous turbo lag. DO NOT BUY!!
