2003 Volkswagen Passat GLS review from North America
"A well built, great handling beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem that I have experienced so far is that the gas gauge reads 3/4's of a tank when it tis actually full.
General comments?
It is a very well made car. It accelerates quickly after the initial turbo lag. The steering is precise. The ride is smooth. The interior is comfortable and well designed. My Passat has heated seats which are great in the cold or if you have a backache.
The trunk is huge. I love the styling. It feels like you are driving a much more expensive car.
