2001 Volkswagen Passat GL review from North America
"This car is a big hit with me and anyone else who encounters it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had absolutely no problems with this car in the year that I have owned it.
The car has only needed to have it's oil changed, and that was part of VW's complementary maintenance.
General comments?
I own a 2001 1/2 New Passat Wagon.
It looks great and is very roomy. It's the best alternative to an SUV available.
The 5 speed/1.8L Turbo offers excellent performance and incredible fuel efficiency.
The car feels luxurious without a luxurious price.
I wish that VW offered the 6 Cylinder Tubodiesel Diesel engine to U.S. customers.
