1998 Volkswagen Passat GLS review from North America
"Good car, poor service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I didn't find much wrong with my car. The service was the problem.
General comments?
The car handles very well. I like European cars, they handle better than American cars. Japanese cars are comfortable to a fault, I like when I drive, I feel the car.
