Nothing really. CD player has bugs, but works. No big deal. Easily fixed.
Rubber coating on interior door handles is peeling, not a big issue.
First half of the production year 2001.
My first car.
Great car, handles exceptionally well and has ample power.
Comfortable ride and well laid-out interior, for a car with almost 100,000 miles, it looks and drives like new.
I read some of the reviews on this vehicle on this site before I purchased it, and I believe that they are rare occasions of problems. If you are looking to buy one, don't judge the car on most of these reviews, because if I did, I wouldn't have known how pleased I am now with the car.
This is a great car im sure someone had one thing go wrong that they were not happy with and just want to bash it great great car.
I just bought the V6 Passat with automatic. The car seems to be in mint condition with the exception of the ABS light coming on intermittently. The dealer says he'll fix it. We bought it for its looks, V6 engine and the luxury in a small sedan. I expected aluminum wheels, but got steel wheels with plastic covers. (!) I baby my cars so it should last long.
