2002 Volkswagen Passat GLS review from North America
"I Love this Car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had all coils and spark plugs replaced. Apparently I was one of the first because the recall hadn't come out yet when I started having problems. So I visited the dealer 3 times for this problem. Also, adjusted doors, replaced 2 headlamps and 1 foglight. Adjusted headlamps. Recall on fuel tank armor in case of RR tire blow-out.
Replaced rear brakes due to rubbing noise and rattle in dash- not under warranty.
General comments?
Quick car, silky transmission, great ride, nice handling, doesn't look cheap, very nice detail and trim. Awesomely solid build quality and economical.
