1996 Volkswagen Passat GLX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
4 transmissions (automatic) in 3 years! Luckily, the warranty covers it. Volkswagen will soon have more money in this car than I have! Dealers and corporate both deny any inherent problems with this year and model, but a guy I work with had the same car with the same problems.
General comments?
Buy an Audi instead.
