1999 Volkswagen Passat GLS review from North America
"I love my passat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The passat had one a wheel bearing go at 71,000 miles.
General comments?
The car is excellent. I have had it for 9 months now. This is my second passat.
I love the 1.8 turbo, not only is it powerful, but I am getting over 30 miles to the gallon.
The fit and finish inside and out are amazing. The paint still looks and drives like it is new.
I always run premium gasoline and I always use synthetic oil. With a turbo engine this is a must.
