1999 Volkswagen Passat review from North America
"You get what you pay for.. this is a quality car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really!! just general maintenence.. although I have had some front end problems.. had to replace the tire rods at 175000, there is a weird squeeqing noise coming from the front end. other than that no problems.!!
General comments?
Honestly.. I have never thought much of volkswagen, only because I have heard so many bad things about them. this car has really won my heart. its been with me now for 4 years and I love this car. you can feel the quality when you drive its solid!!
