Deutsche Technik im Haus ya (German engineering in da house ya)

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: Safe, Fun, Fast and Luxurious
Review: My husband and I decided to get rid of his poor crappy, 1997 Chevy Astro Van, with no air conditioning. If you live in Florida, you know what I mean. We went this last Saturday to get a new VW. He loves my Jetta so we decided to stick with VW cars...

Passat vs. Jetta redux (2006 models)

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: The look isn't as classic, but the interior draws even closer to that of a luxury sedan.
Review: A few years ago I suggested that for those who didn't need a back seat the Jetta made more sense than the Passat. The smaller sedan handled better and cost less.

Last spring a thoroughly redesigned Jetta arrived. This fall it is joined by...

The MVP of the bunch

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: An excellent, well rounded from all aspects, family car. I think VW really hit jackpot with this one.
Review: I ve had the new 2006 VW Passat for almost 6 months now, and I felt like I ve had enough experience with it to write a fairly comprehensive review.

I purchased the Passat primarily for my wife. We were looking for a car that would be safe,...

Volkswagen crushes Toyohondassan and sends Acura packing (Sedan and Wagon reviewed here)

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: You pay a tad bit more than you do for a Camry or an Accord, but you get twice the car. It's a no-brainer.
Review: I'll admit it, this car snuck up on me. I have traditionally been a Honda fan, but after working as a dealership lot porter, and later, a Volkswagen salesman (affording my many opportunities to drive and analyze this car), I've switched allegiances...

Great car, poor construction

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend any VW vehicle because of its history of reliability issues. It's a beautiful car, but what good is a car if it's always at the dealership.
Review: After researching several vehicles (2006 Honda Accord, 2006 Acura TSX, 2006 VW Jetta) my wife and I decided to buy a United Grey/Black Leather VW Passat 2.0T. Unfortunately, VW wasn't able to keep us as loyal customers.

Two days ago, my...

2006 Volkswagon Passat 2.0T

Date of Review:  May 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: Awesome car at an affordable price! A definite yes!
Review: This is the second VW I have leased. The first was a 2003 Jetta with the 1.8 turbo and it was a great car. I never had any problems with it, and VW was always great to deal with at service intervals. When I started looking at the Passat, I was...

2006.5 Passat 2.0 Value - A fine used midsize car

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: A great used value. With a fully transferrable 4 yr/48,000 mi warranty, a 1 yr old Passat could offer as much as a new Fusion, Accord, or Camry.
Review: This Passat review happened accidentally, as I was helping a friend decide on a new vehicle purchase. He is not particularly knowledgeable about cars, and had already made up his mind on a used Volvo, without ever having driven one. That being said,...

Passat 2006 Suspension Creaking/Big Lemon!!!

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2006
Review: I have new 2006 3.6 Passat with around 11,000 miles. I have had it in for service about 6 times in the last 2 months. The car has major creeking problems when going over bumps or turns, especially when its cold. It sounds like a creeky old boat. It...

2006 Passat 2.0 - Nice wrapping - lame present

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: Don't buy --It has so much potential it is sad that there are issues. Do you want to risk $24K?
Review: As most of those who purchase a car.. I was in love with the look, the feel, the room and the EPA mileage estimates. I purchased the car, Artic Blue 2006 Passat 2.0T new.
In the fist month I had the car in the shop 5 times. Various problems as...

A Marvelous Combination

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy this car. It's fun to drive, refined, and the base model is a phenomenal value.
Review: This is the car that BMW should have built for its 5 Series.


I have been driving for 33 years, and have owned or leased seven Volvos, five SAABs, a Mercedes-Benz, three prior VW's, a Toyota, a Mercury and a Buick. None of these has...
