I have been very happy with my purchase. I like the way the car handles and feel most of the interior technology is up to par with newer cars. I have had to adjust my driving habits as I get used to the sub par throttle response and wish there was a back up camera. Overall though it a sharp car that seems to be very well built. I'm happy.

VW still has rust issues and high maintenance cost

Rides great and great gas mileage. However, high maintenance cost and quarter panel rusting at 5 years old. Started from behind the panel. I researched this and it is due to a manufacture defect of moisture being in the paint booth when they painted the vehicle...so be careful...sounds like poor quality control for paint. They claim to have a 12 year corrosion warranty but when I brought to the dealer they wouldn't honor it. Due to rust and high cost of ownership, I will not buy another VW.

I own a 2012 Passat S class, before owning this car I drove a 2000 Honda Civic EX that I had the misfortune for acquiring in 2008. My Passat is equiped with a 5 cylinder 2.5 liter engine. This is an incredible car to drive! When you shift this car into D it drives like a Benz E-Class, when you shift it into S in drives like an Audi S4! The car is beautiful inside and out! When you sit down in the back seat of this car you get the same feeling like when you climb into a Suburban or a Yukon. All three feel like stepping into a house.
Fabulous Passat

I've only owned my 2012 for the past year and I've never had an issue with it. I bought it with 25,000. miles and I've driven it all over Florida. Fun car to drive and great on gas.
