2002 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T review from North America
"I love my sassy Passat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace axles, water pump, she has 95,000 miles so I can't complain.
General comments?
I read all the reviews and thought I would add one that is positive I love my Passat. Sure I have to do regular maintenance I use synthetic oil to prevent sludge build up and every 20,000 I change the fuel filter I love the heated seats and the way the silver glows under the lights in the parking lot.
