This is my 3rd generation Passat and my 5th VW car in the last 25 years. I have owned also recent models of Nissan Maxima, Toyota Camry, and Honda Accord. I have driven during my business trips in Europe various Mercedes cars (C200 and E300)and BMW (300, 500 series). Similarly, I drove in USA Lexus and Infinity midsize sedans. I find the Passat the most sensible combination of performance, comfort, and value. You get Audi engineering (on par with BMW and Mercedes) at discount price. The gas mileage (34-35 miles/galon) is better than that of my Toyota Camry 2005 (XLE 4). As for the reliability, it is better than my Camry 2005 so far

Came out of a Volvo XC70. This car has personality and is much more fun to drive. Comfort is good. Good acceleration. Mileage is better then sticker. Easily get 30-32 at 70 mph. 33-34 at 60 mph. Average fuel mileage is 26mpg. Kids love the rear door window shade. I am 6'1" and like the front seats. Live in area that doesn't have may Passat Wagons and get many looks.

VW Passat B6 with 2.0T engine is the worst car ever. I owned it for 15k miles when engine suddenly died on a highway. Only 79k miles and the car suffered catastrophic engine failure, which is not worth repair. The car was well maintained, oil changes every 5k miles, a lot of money spent on repairs. On craigslist you will find more passat's that need engine replacement than working ones. Beware of VWs.

Admittedly have only driven the car 6K miles, but must say, am more than pleased. Well thought out with ever so many clever features that make car seem like it knows you. Sweetest engine I've driven - excellent power due to great low end torgue via turbo charger. Rides like on rails, yet seems like larger luxury ride. One needs to keep an eye on options (can escalate pricing rapidly) and bargain aggressively - with that in mind, pricing is quite attractive and competitive.
Nice car, very poor reliability (RUN AWAY!!)

So my parents bought me a 09 Passat as my first car, it was very nice, clean inside and out, I loved how the car drove and handled, it had plenty of power for me and room as well, but let’s look at the reliability aspect, JD power has the reliability a 2/5 which is rather low and I would soon learn how true that was…. The first thing to go was the water pump which was $700 and all the coolant had leaked out while I was out driving, thankfully I was close to home, the second thing to go not to long after that was the electronic throttle body ($600), in this case I had to have it towed because it was in limp mode and I was wayyy to far from my mechanic to drive it there, the third time a WEEK later I had a engine fault come onto my dash and I had to have the valves walnut blasted ($400) given it was a GDI and had never been done the thing was choking itself out and misfiring constantly, it only had 150,000 miles, which isn’t terrible for some cars, but it is for this one… there’s so many other great options other than these such as the Camry or accord, they’re way to expensive to maintain and work on, so STAY WAY
