2006 Volkswagen Passat 3.6L review from North America
"If the hesitation problem is fixed, it is a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car sometimes hesitates acceleration from a dead stop. This is a safety problem. The car is currently with the dealer a second time to repair this problem.
Passenger side headlight assembly burned out at 2700 miles.
General comments?
Details are very nice such as the new key start system, the one touch emergency brake, the umbrella holder.
This car is the V6 Sport edition and is very well appointed and is very comfortable.
Acceleration is amazing.
