2002 Volkswagen Passat GLS review from North America
"Best car that I have ever owned."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine coils had to be replaced around 25,000 miles.
General comments?
Great performance.
All the features of a luxury car.
Cool interior lighting.
Stylish.
Traded it in for a 2004 BMW 325i (at my husbands request) and I could kick myself. The Passat was just as nice as the BMW and cheaper.
