Don't knock it till you try it....
I have had 2 VW. Unreliable bastards they are. That I could have told you without JD PA.
But it's nice car inside, the Passat. Especially was nice in like 99-2000, when they were like A4 inside, but cost less money. Not these days when VW are priced much higher. My 2000 passat was a good car, but the bills I've had for bizzare things that went wrong were not funny at all. And engine sump guard broke off at about 80mph on an interstate (I was late to the airport at 5am on I95 going to JFK). It was not fun! Than an EGR head gasket blew, than exhaust repairs, and of course the front shocks gave up after 35k miles. Comon!
But that nice blue glow of dashboard was always something my girlfriend voted for.
The new Golf 5 if overweight, and costs too much. Take me a Civic over it any time!
