2001 Volkswagen Passat GLX review from North America
"Disappointing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Endless small problems with the latest being a major electrical grounding issue. The dash needs to come off and no one can guarantee a fix.
Car will start after it sits for 24 hours and resets.
Cars drives great, but it is lemon.
General comments?
Don't buy one! I was considering an A6 and decided thanks, but no thanks. I've had enough of this - a car with 75K of miles needs to be junked.
